NAME
       putwchar - write a wide character to standard output

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

       wint_t putwchar(wchar_t wc);

DESCRIPTION
       The  putwchar function is the wide-character equivalent of the putchar
       function. It writes the wide character wc to stdout.   If  ferror(std-
       out)  becomes  true,  it	 returns WEOF. If a wide character conversion
       error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF.	Otherwise  it
       returns wc.

       For a non-locking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).

RETURN VALUE
       The  putwchar  function	returns	 wc  if no error occurred, or WEOF to
       indicate an error.

CONFORMING TO
       ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98

NOTES
       The behaviour of putwchar depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the cur-
       rent locale.

       It  is  reasonable  to  expect  that  putwchar will actually write the
       multibyte sequence corresponding to the wide character wc.
