NAME
ungetwc -- un-get wide character from input stream LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> wint_t ungetwc(wint_t wc, FILE *stream); DESCRIPTION
The ungetwc() function pushes the wide character wc (converted to an wchar_t) back onto the input stream pointed to by stream. The pushed- backed wide characters will be returned by subsequent reads on the stream (in reverse order). A successful intervening call, using the same stream, to one of the file positioning functions fseek(3), fsetpos(3), or rewind(3) will discard the pushed back wide characters. One wide character of push-back is guaranteed, but as long as there is sufficient memory, an effectively infinite amount of pushback is allowed. If a character is successfully pushed-back, the end-of-file indicator for the stream is cleared. RETURN VALUES
The ungetwc() function returns the wide character pushed-back after the conversion, or WEOF if the operation fails. If the value of the argument c character equals WEOF, the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged. SEE ALSO
fseek(3), getwc(3) STANDARDS
The ungetwc() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99''). BUGS
The current implementation uses a fixed sized ungetwc-buffer. BSD

NAME
ungetwc, ungetwc_l -- un-get wide character from input stream LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc) SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> wint_t ungetwc(wint_t wc, FILE *stream); #include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> #include <xlocale.h> wint_t ungetwc_l(wint_t wc, FILE *stream, locale_t loc); DESCRIPTION
The ungetwc() function pushes the wide character wc (converted to an wchar_t) back onto the input stream pointed to by stream. The pushed- backed wide characters will be returned (in reverse order) by subsequent reads on the stream. A successful intervening call to one of the file positioning functions fseek(3), fsetpos(3), or rewind(3), using the same stream, will discard the pushed-back wide characters. Only one wide character of push-back is guaranteed, but as long as there is sufficient memory, an effectively infinite amount of push-back is allowed. If a character is successfully pushed-back, the end-of-file indicator for the stream is cleared. Although the ungetwc() function uses the current locale, the ungetwc_l() function may be passed a locale directly. See xlocale(3) for more information. RETURN VALUES
The ungetwc() function returns the wide character pushed-back after the conversion, or WEOF if the operation fails. If the value of the argument c character equals WEOF, the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged. SEE ALSO
