+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ungetc
+.Nd un-get character from input stream
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdio.h>
+.Ft int
+.Fn ungetc "int c" "FILE *stream"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn ungetc
+function pushes the character
+.Fa c
+(converted to an unsigned char)
+back onto the input stream pointed to by
+.Fa stream .
+The pushed-backed 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
+.Po
+.Xr fseek 3 ,
+.Xr fsetpos 3 ,
+or
+.Xr rewind 3
+.Pc
+will discard the pushed back characters.
+.Pp
+One character of push-back is guaranteed,
+but as long as there is
+sufficient memory, an effectively infinite amount of pushback is allowed.
+.Pp
+If a character is successfully pushed-back,
+the end-of-file indicator for the stream is cleared.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+The
+.Fn ungetc
+function
+returns
+the character pushed-back after the conversion, or
+.Dv EOF
+if the operation fails.
+If the value of the argument
+.Fa c
+character equals
+.Dv EOF ,
+the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged.
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr getc 3 ,
+.Xr fseek 3 ,
+.Xr setvbuf 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn ungetc
+function conforms to
+.St -ansiC .
