PUTWCHAR(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                   PUTWCHAR(3)

NAME         top

       putwchar - write a wide character to standard output

SYNOPSIS         top

       #include <wchar.h>

       wint_t putwchar(wchar_t wc);

DESCRIPTION         top

       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).

RETURN VALUE         top

       The putwchar() function returns wc if no error occurred, or WEOF to indicate
       an error.

CONFORMING TO         top

       C99.

NOTES         top

       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.
