putwchar - write a wide character to standard output
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t putwchar(wchar_t wc);
The putwchar() function is the wide-character
equivalent of the putchar(3) function. It writes the
wide character wc to stdout. If
ferror(stdout) becomes true, it returns WEOF.
If a wide character conversion error occurs, it sets errno to
EILSEQ and returns WEOF. Otherwise, it
returns wc.
For a nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).
The putwchar() function returns wc if no
error occurred, or WEOF to indicate an error.
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
