7 implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
8 Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9 not be implemented on Linux.

13 fputwc — put a wide-character code on a stream

16 #include <stdio.h>
17 #include <wchar.h>
18 wint_t fputwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);

22 The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
23 ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here
24 and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1‐2008
25 defers to the ISO C standard.
26 The fputwc() function shall write the character corresponding to the
28 wide-character code wc to the output stream pointed to by stream, at
29 the position indicated by the associated file-position indicator for
30 the stream (if defined), and advances the indicator appropriately. If
31 the file cannot support positioning requests, or if the stream was
32 opened with append mode, the character is appended to the output
33 stream. If an error occurs while writing the character, the shift state
34 of the output file is left in an undefined state.
35 The last data modification and last file status change timestamps of
37 the file shall be marked for update between the successful execution of
38 fputwc() and the next successful completion of a call to fflush() or
39 fclose() on the same stream or a call to exit() or abort().
40 The fputwc() function shall not change the setting of errno if success‐
42 ful.
43
45 Upon successful completion, fputwc() shall return wc. Otherwise, it
46 shall return WEOF, the error indicator for the stream shall be set, and
47 errno shall be set to indicate the error.
48
50 The fputwc() function shall fail if either the stream is unbuffered or
51 data in the stream's buffer needs to be written, and:
52 EAGAIN The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor underlying
54 stream and the thread would be delayed in the write operation.
55 EBADF The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file
57 descriptor open for writing.
58 EFBIG An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the maximum
60 file size or the file size limit of the process.
61 EFBIG The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to write at
63 or beyond the offset maximum associated with the corresponding
64 stream.
65 EILSEQ The wide-character code wc does not correspond to a valid char‐
67 acter.
68 EINTR The write operation was terminated due to the receipt of a sig‐
70 nal, and no data was transferred.
71 EIO A physical I/O error has occurred, or the process is a member of
73 a background process group attempting to write to its control‐
74 ling terminal, TOSTOP is set, the calling thread is not blocking
75 SIGTTOU, the process is not ignoring SIGTTOU, and the process
76 group of the process is orphaned. This error may also be
77 returned under implementation-defined conditions.
78 ENOSPC There was no free space remaining on the device containing the
80 file.
81 EPIPE An attempt is made to write to a pipe or FIFO that is not open
83 for reading by any process. A SIGPIPE signal shall also be sent
84 to the thread.
85 The fputwc() function may fail if:
87 ENOMEM Insufficient storage space is available.
89 ENXIO A request was made of a nonexistent device, or the request was
91 outside the capabilities of the device.
