NAME

6       putwchar - write a wide character to standard output
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <wchar.h>
10
11       wint_t putwchar(wchar_t wc);
12

DESCRIPTION

14       The  putwchar()  function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent  of  the
15       putchar(3) function.  It writes the wide character wc  to  stdout.   If
16       ferror(stdout) becomes true, it returns WEOF.  If a wide character con‐
17       version error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF.  Other‐
18       wise it returns wc.
19
20       For a nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).
21

RETURN VALUE

23       The  putwchar()  function  returns  wc if no error occurred, or WEOF to
24       indicate an error.
25

CONFORMING TO

27       C99.

NOTES

30       The behavior of putwchar() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
31       rent locale.
32
33       It  is  reasonable  to  expect  that putwchar() will actually write the
34       multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character wc.
