+.SH NAME
+fputwc, putwc \- write a wide character to a FILE stream
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <stdio.h>
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "wint_t fputwc(wchar_t " wc ", FILE *" stream );
+.BI "wint_t putwc(wchar_t " wc ", FILE *" stream );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR fputwc ()
+function is the wide-character
+equivalent of the
+.BR fputc (3)
+function.
+It writes the wide character \fIwc\fP to \fIstream\fP.
+If
+\fIferror(stream)\fP becomes true, it returns
+.BR WEOF .
+If a wide-character conversion error occurs,
+it sets \fIerrno\fP to \fBEILSEQ\fP and returns
+.BR WEOF .
+Otherwise, it returns \fIwc\fP.
+.PP
+The
+.BR putwc ()
+function or macro functions identically to
+.BR fputwc ().
+It may be implemented as a macro, and may evaluate its argument
+more than once.
+There is no reason ever to use it.
+.PP
+For nonlocking counterparts, see
+.BR unlocked_stdio (3).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR fputwc ()
+function returns
+.IR wc .
+Otherwise,
+.B WEOF
+is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+Apart from the usual ones, there is
+.TP
+.B EILSEQ
+Conversion of \fIwc\fP to the stream's encoding fails.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see

+.SH STANDARDS

+.SH HISTORY
+C99, POSIX.1-2001.
+.SH NOTES
+The behavior of
+.BR fputwc ()
+depends on the
+.B LC_CTYPE
+category of the
+current locale.
+.PP
+In the absence of additional information passed to the
+.BR fopen (3)
+call, it is
+reasonable to expect that
+.BR fputwc ()
+will actually write the multibyte
+sequence corresponding to the wide character \fIwc\fP.
