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

     fseek(3), getwc(3), xlocale(3)

STANDARDS

     The ungetwc() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
