+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.BR getw ()
+reads a word (that is, an \fIint\fP) from \fIstream\fP.
+It's provided for compatibility with SVr4.
+We recommend you use
+.BR fread (3)
+instead.
+.PP
+.BR putw ()
+writes the word \fIw\fP (that is,
+an \fIint\fP) to \fIstream\fP.
+It is provided for compatibility with SVr4, but we recommend you use
+.BR fwrite (3)
+instead.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Normally,
+.BR getw ()
+returns the word read, and
+.BR putw ()
+returns 0.
+On error, they return \fBEOF\fP.
