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)).
