Description
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).
History
POSIX.1-2001, C99.
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Name
putwchar - write a wide character to standard output
Notes
The behavior of putwchar() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.
It is reasonable to expect that putwchar() will actually write the multibyte sequence corresponding to
the wide character wc.
Return Value
The putwchar() function returns wc if no error occurred, or WEOF to indicate an error.
