putws(3C)putws(3C)NAMEputws(), fputws() - put a wide character string on a stream file
SYNOPSIS
Obsolescent Interfaces
Remarks:
is compliant with the XPG4 Worldwide Portability Interface wide-charac‐
ter I/O functions. These functions parallel the 8 bit character I/O
functions defined in puts(3S).
DESCRIPTION
writes a character string corresponding to the null-terminated wide-
character string pointed to by ws followed by a new-line character, to
the standard output stream
writes a character string corresponding to the null-terminated wide-
character string pointed to by ws to the named output stream, but does
append a new-line character or a terminating null character.
Neither function writes a terminating null character.
The definition for these functions, the type and the value are provided
in the header.
Obsolescent Interfaces
and put a wide character string on a stream file.
APPLICATION USAGE
After or is applied to a stream, the stream becomes wide-oriented (see
orientation(5)).
EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
Locale
The category determines how wide character conversions are done.
International Code Set Support
Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, and return a non-negative number. Other‐
wise they return set the error indicator for the stream, and set to
indicate the error.
ERRORS
and fail if either the stream is unbuffered, or stream's buffer needed
to be flushed causing an underlying call to be invoked, and:
[EAGAIN] The flag is set for the file descriptor underly‐
ing stream and the process would be delayed in
the write operation.
[EBADF] The file descriptor underlying stream is not a
valid file descriptor open for writing.
[EFBIG] An attempt was made to write to a file that
exceeds the process's file size limit or the max‐
imum file size (see ulimit(2)).
[EINTR] A signal was caught during the system call.
[EIO] The process is in a background process group and
is attempting to write to its controlling termi‐
nal, is set, the process is neither ignoring nor
blocking the signal, and the process group of the
process is orphaned.
[ENOSPC] There was no free space remaining on the device
containing the file.
[EPIPE] An attempt is made to write to a pipe or FIFO
that is not open for reading by any process. A
signal is also sent to the process.
[EILSEQ] A wide character in ws does not correspond to a
valid character.
Additional values may be set by the underlying function (see write(2)).
WARNINGS

existing DCE applications. New multithreaded applications should use
