Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

|
|
.In stdio.h
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn fputc "int c" "FILE *stream"
|

|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fputc
|
|
function
|
|
writes the character
|
|
.Fa c
|
|
(converted to an ``unsigned char'')
|
|
to the output stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
macro acts essentially identically to
|
|
.Fn fputc ,
|
|
but is a macro that expands in-line.
|
|
It may evaluate
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
more than once, so arguments given to
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
should not be expressions with potential side effects.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putchar
|
|
function
|
|
is identical to
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
with an output stream of
|
|
.Dv stdout .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
function
|
|
writes the specified
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
to the named output
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putc_unlocked
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar_unlocked
|
|
functions are equivalent to
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar
|
|
respectively,
|
|
except that the caller is responsible for locking the stream
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr flockfile 3
|
|
before calling them.
|
|
These functions may be used to avoid the overhead of locking the stream
|
|
for each character, and to avoid output being interspersed from multiple
|
|
threads writing to the same stream.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions,
|
|
.Fn fputc ,
|
|
.Fn putc ,
|
|
.Fn putchar ,
|
|
.Fn putc_unlocked
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar_unlocked
|
|
return the character written.
|
|
If an error occurs, the value
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is returned.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
function
|
|
returns 0 on success;
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
is returned if
|
|
a write error occurs,
|
|
or if an attempt is made to write a read-only stream.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn fputc ,
|
|
.Fn putc ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar ,
|
|
conform to
|
|
.St -isoC .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putc_unlocked
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar_unlocked
|
|
functions conform to
|
|
.St -p1003.1-2001 .
|
|
A function
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.At v6 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The size and byte order of an
|
|
.Vt int
|
|
varies from one machine to another, and
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
is not recommended for portable applications.
