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() function. It writes the wide character wc to stdout.  If fer‐
16       ror(stdout)  becomes true, it returns WEOF. If a wide character conver‐
17       sion error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF.  Otherwise
18       it returns wc.
19
20       For a non-locking 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.

NOTES

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