+.SH DESCRIPTION
+When \fImode\fP is zero, the
+.BR fwide ()
+function determines the current
+orientation of \fIstream\fP.
+It returns a positive value if \fIstream\fP is
+wide-character oriented, that is, if wide-character I/O is permitted but char
+I/O is disallowed.
+It returns a negative value if \fIstream\fP is byte oriented\[em]that is,
+if char I/O is permitted but wide-character I/O is disallowed.
+It
+returns zero if \fIstream\fP has no orientation yet; in this case the next
+I/O operation might change the orientation (to byte oriented if it is a char
+I/O operation, or to wide-character oriented if it is a wide-character I/O
+operation).
+.P
+Once a stream has an orientation, it cannot be changed and persists until
+the stream is closed.
+.P
+When \fImode\fP is nonzero, the
+.BR fwide ()
+function first attempts to set
+\fIstream\fP's orientation (to wide-character oriented
+if \fImode\fP is greater than 0, or
+to byte oriented if \fImode\fP is less than 0).
+It then returns a value denoting the
+current orientation, as above.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR fwide ()
+function returns the stream's orientation, after possibly
+changing it.
+A positive return value means wide-character oriented.
+A negative return value means byte oriented.
+A return value of zero means undecided.
+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001, C99.
+.SH NOTES
+Wide-character output to a byte oriented stream can be performed through the
+.BR fprintf (3)
+function with the
+.B %lc
+and
+.B %ls
+directives.
+.P
+Char oriented output to a wide-character oriented stream can be performed
+through the
+.BR fwprintf (3)
+function with the
+.B %c
+and
+.B %s
+directives.
