DESCRIPTION

69       Each  of these functions has the same behavior as its counterpart with‐
70       out the "_unlocked" suffix, except that they do not use  locking  (they
71       do  not set locks themselves, and do not test for the presence of locks
72       set by others) and hence are thread-unsafe.  See flockfile(3).

CONFORMING TO

110       The  four  functions  getc_unlocked(),   getchar_unlocked(),   putc_un‐
111       locked(), putchar_unlocked() are in POSIX.1-2001 and POSIX.1-2008.
112
113       The  nonstandard *_unlocked() variants occur on a few UNIX systems, and
114       are available in recent glibc.  They should probably not be used.
