C in a Nutshell

Name

putwc

Synopsis

Writes a wide character to a file

#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
wint_tputwc( wchar_t c, FILE *fp );

The function or macro putwc() is similar to the function fputwc(). It writes one character to the current file position of the specified FILE pointer. The return value is the character written, or WEOF if an error occurred.

Because putwc() may be implemented as a macro, it might evaluate its argument more than once. Make sure the argument is not an expression with side effects—or else use fputwc().

Example

See the examples for getwc() and fgetwc() in this chapter.
