NAME
putws(), fputws() - put a wide character string on a stream file
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces
Remarks:
is compliant with the XPG4 Worldwide Portability Interface wide-character I/O functions. These functions parallel the 8 bit character I/O
functions defined in puts(3S).
DESCRIPTION
writes a character string corresponding to the null-terminated wide-character string pointed to by ws followed by a new-line character, to
the standard output stream
writes a character string corresponding to the null-terminated wide-character string pointed to by ws to the named output stream, but does
append a new-line character or a terminating null character.
Neither function writes a terminating null character.
The definition for these functions, the type and the value are provided in the header.
Obsolescent Interfaces
and put a wide character string on a stream file.
APPLICATION USAGE
After or is applied to a stream, the stream becomes wide-oriented (see orientation(5)).
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Locale
The category determines how wide character conversions are done.
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, and return a non-negative number. Otherwise they return set the error indicator for the stream, and set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
and fail if either the stream is unbuffered, or stream's buffer needed to be flushed causing an underlying call to be invoked, and:
[EAGAIN] The flag is set for the file descriptor underlying stream and the process would be delayed in the write operation.
[EBADF] The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file descriptor open for writing.
[EFBIG] An attempt was made to write to a file that exceeds the process's file size limit or the maximum file size (see
ulimit(2)).
[EINTR] A signal was caught during the system call.
[EIO] The process is in a background process group and is attempting to write to its controlling terminal, is set, the
process is neither ignoring nor blocking the signal, and the process group of the process is orphaned.
[ENOSPC] There was no free space remaining on the device containing the file.
[EPIPE] An attempt is made to write to a pipe or FIFO that is not open for reading by any process. A signal is also sent to
the process.
[EILSEQ] A wide character in ws does not correspond to a valid character.
Additional values may be set by the underlying function (see write(2)).
