.Sh NAME
.Nm fputc ,
.Nm putc ,
.Nm putchar ,
.Nm putw
.Nd output a character or word to a stream
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Fd #include <stdio.h>
.Ft int
.Fn fputc "int c" "FILE *stream"
.Ft int
.Fn putc "int c" "FILE *stream"
.Ft int
.Fn putchar "int c"
.Ft int
.Fn putw "int w" "FILE *stream"
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn fputc
function writes the character
.Fa c
(converted to an
.Li unsigned char )
to the output stream pointed to by
.Fa stream .
.Pp
.Fn putc
acts essentially identically to
.Fn fputc ,
but is a macro that expands in-line.
It may evaluate
.Fa stream
more than once, so arguments given to
.Fn putc
should not be expressions with potential side effects.
.Pp
.Fn putchar
is identical to
.Fn putc
with an output stream of
.Em stdout .
.Pp
The
.Fn putw
function writes the specified
.Li int
.Fa w
to the named output
.Fa stream .
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The functions,
.Fn fputc ,
.Fn putc ,
and
.Fn putchar
return the character written.
If an error occurs, the value
.Dv EOF
is returned.
The
.Fn putw
function
returns 0 on success;
.Dv EOF
is returned if a write error occurs,
or if an attempt is made to write a read-only stream.
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr ferror 3 ,
.Xr fopen 3 ,
.Xr getc 3 ,
.Xr stdio 3
.Sh STANDARDS
The functions
.Fn fputc ,
.Fn putc ,
and
.Fn putchar ,
conform to
.St -ansiC .
A function
.Fn putw
function appeared in
.At v6 .
.Sh BUGS
Since the size and byte order of an
.Li int
varies from one machine to another,
.Fn putw
is not recommended for portable applications.
