NAME
fputws — put a
wide-character string on a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
int fputws(const wchar_t *restrict ws, FILE *restrict stream);
DESCRIPTION
[CX] The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (“POSIX.1”) defers to the ISO C standard.
The fputws () function shall write
a character string corresponding to the (null-terminated) wide-character
string pointed to by
ws to the stream
pointed to by
stream.
No character corresponding to the terminating null wide-character code shall
be written.
[CX] The
st_ctime and
st_mtime
fields of the file shall be marked for update between the successful
execution of fputws () and the next successful
completion of a call to fflush(3) or
fclose(3) on the same stream or a call to
exit(3) or abort(3).
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, fputws ()
shall return a non-negative number. Otherwise, it shall return -1, set an
error indicator for the stream, [CX] and set
errno to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
Refer to fputwc(3).
EXAMPLES
None.
APPLICATION USAGE
The fputws () function does not append a
<newline>.
RATIONALE
None.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS

CHANGE HISTORY
First released in Issue 4. Derived from the MSE working draft.
Issue 5
The Optional Header (OH) marking is removed from <stdio.h>.
Issue 6
Extensions beyond the ISO C standard are marked.
The fputws () prototype is updated for
alignment with the ISO/IEC 9899:1999
(“ISO C99”) standard.
