+.SH NAME
+ungetwc \- push back a wide character onto a FILE stream
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "wint_t ungetwc(wint_t " wc ", FILE *" stream );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR ungetwc ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent of the
+.BR ungetc (3)
+function.
+It pushes back a wide character onto
+.I stream
+and returns it.
+.PP
+If
+.I wc
+is
+.BR WEOF ,
+it returns
+.BR WEOF .
+If
+.I wc
+is an invalid wide character,
+it sets
+.I errno
+to
+.B EILSEQ
+and returns
+.BR WEOF .
+.PP
+If
+.I wc
+is a valid wide character, it is pushed back onto the stream
+and thus becomes available for future wide-character read operations.
+The file-position indicator is decremented by one or more.
+The end-of-file
+indicator is cleared.
+The backing storage of the file is not affected.
+.PP
+Note:
+.I wc
+need not be the last wide-character read from the stream;
+it can be any other valid wide character.
+.PP
+If the implementation supports multiple push-back operations in a row, the
+pushed-back wide characters will be read in reverse order; however, only one
+level of push-back is guaranteed.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR ungetwc ()
+function returns
+.I wc
+when successful, or
+.B WEOF
+upon
+failure.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
