PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       putwc — put a wide character on a stream


SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>

       wint_t putwc(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);


DESCRIPTION
       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  putwc() function shall be equivalent to fputwc(), except that if it is implemented as a macro it may
       evaluate stream more than once, so the argument should never be an expression with side-effects.


RETURN VALUE
       Refer to fputwc().


ERRORS
       Refer to fputwc().

       The following sections are informative.


EXAMPLES
       None.


APPLICATION USAGE
       Since it may be  implemented  as  a  macro,  putwc()  may  treat  a  stream  argument  with  side-effects
       incorrectly.  In  particular,  putwc(wc,*f++) need not work correctly. Therefore, use of this function is
       not recommended; fputwc() should be used instead.


RATIONALE
       None.


FUTURE DIRECTIONS
       None.
