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.

CONFORMING TO

NOTES

39       The behavior of putwchar() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur‐
40       rent locale.
41
42       It is reasonable to expect that  putwchar()  will  actually  write  the
43       multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character wc.
