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).
