NAME
putc - put a byte on a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> int putc(int c, FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The putc() function shall be equivalent to fputc(), 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 fputc() .
ERRORS
Refer to fputc() .
The following sections are informative.
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
Since it may be implemented as a macro, putc() may treat a stream argument with side effects incorrectly.
In particular, putc(c,*f++) does not necessarily work correctly. Therefore, use of this function is not
recommended in such situations; fputc() should be used instead.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
