It may evaluate +.Fa stream +more than once, so arguments given to +.Fn putc +should not be expressions with potential side effects. +.Pp +The +.Fn putchar +macro +is identical to +.Fn putc +with an output stream of +.Em stdout . +.Pp +The +.Fn putw +function +writes the specified +.Em int +to the named output +.Fa stream . +.Sh RETURN VALUES +The functions, +.Fn fputc , +.Fn putc +and +.Fn putchar +return the character written. +If an error occurs, the value +.Dv EOF +is returned. +The +.Fn putw +function +returns 0 on success; +.Dv EOF +is returned if +a write error occurs, +or if an attempt is made to write a read-only stream. +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr ferror 3 , +.Xr fopen 3 , +.Xr getc 3 , +.Xr stdio 3 +.Sh STANDARDS +The functions +.Fn fputc , +.Fn putc , +and +.Fn putchar , +conform to +.St -ansiC . +A function +.Fn putw +function appeared in +.At v6 . +.Sh BUGS +The size and byte order of an +.Em int +varies from one machine to another, and +.Fn putw +is not recommended for portable applications. |
