NAME

       fputws - write a wide-character string to a FILE stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <wchar.h>

       int fputws(const wchar_t *ws, FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

       The  fputws()  function  is  the  wide-character  equivalent of the fputs(3) function.  It
       writes the wide-character string starting at ws, up to but not including  the  terminating
       null wide character (L'\0'), to stream.

       For a nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The fputws() function returns a nonnegative integer if the operation was successful, or -1
       to indicate an error.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, C99.

NOTES

       The behavior of fputws() depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale.

       In the absence of additional information passed to the fopen(3) call, it is reasonable  to
       expect  that  fputws() will actually write the multibyte string corresponding to the wide-
       character string ws.
