PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
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.

NAME

13       putc — put a byte on a stream
14

SYNOPSIS

16       #include <stdio.h>
17
18       int putc(int c, FILE *stream);
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with  the
22       ISO C  standard.  Any  conflict between the requirements described here
23       and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This  volume  of  POSIX.1‐2008
24       defers to the ISO C standard.
25
26       The  putc()  function shall be equivalent to fputc(), except that if it
27       is implemented as a macro it may evaluate stream more than once, so the
28       argument should never be an expression with side-effects.
29

RETURN VALUE

31       Refer to fputc().
32

ERRORS

34       Refer to fputc().

36       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

39       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

42       Since it may be implemented as a macro, putc() may treat a stream argu‐
43       ment with side-effects incorrectly. In  particular,  putc(c,*f++)  does
44       not necessarily work correctly.  Therefore, use of this function is not
45       recommended in such situations; fputc() should be used instead.
46

RATIONALE

48       None.
49

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

51       None.
