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

|
|
.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
|
|
macro
|
|
is identical to
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
with an output stream of
|
|
.Em stdout .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
function
|
|
writes the specified
|
|
.Em int
|
|
to the named output
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions,
|
|
.Fn fputc ,
|
|
.Fn putc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn putchar
|
|
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 .
|
|
A function
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
function appeared in
|
|
.At v6 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The size and byte order of an
|
|
.Em int
|
|
varies from one machine to another, and
|
|
.Fn putw
|
|
is not recommended for portable applications.
