.SH NAME
|
|
fwide \- set and determine the orientation of a FILE stream
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
.B #include <wchar.h>
|
|
.sp
|
|
.BI "int fwide(FILE *" stream ", int " mode );
|
|
.fi
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
When \fImode\fP is zero, the \fBfwide\fP() function determines the current
|
|
orientation of \fIstream\fP.
|
|
It returns a value > 0 if \fIstream\fP is
|
|
wide-character oriented, i.e. if wide-character I/O is permitted but char
|
|
I/O is disallowed.
|
|
It returns a value < 0 if \fIstream\fP is byte oriented,
|
|
i.e. if char I/O is permitted but wide-character I/O is disallowed.
|
|
It
|
|
returns zero if \fIstream\fP has no orientation yet; in this case the next
|
|
I/O operation might change the orientation (to byte oriented if it is a char
|
|
I/O operation, or to wide-character oriented if it is a wide-character I/O
|
|
operation).
|
|
.PP
|
|
Once a stream has an orientation, it cannot be changed and persists until
|
|
the stream is closed.
|
|
.PP
|
|
When \fImode\fP is non-zero, the \fBfwide\fP() function first attempts to set
|
|
\fIstream\fP's orientation (to wide-character oriented if \fImode\fP > 0, or
|
|
to byte oriented if \fImode\fP < 0).
|
|
It then returns a value denoting the
|
|
current orientation, as above.
|
|
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
|
|
The \fBfwide\fP() function returns the stream's orientation, after possibly
|
|
changing it.
|
|
A return value > 0 means wide-character oriented.
|
|
A return value
|
|
< 0 means byte oriented.
|
|
A return value of zero means undecided.

|
.SH NOTES
|
|
Wide-character output to a byte oriented stream can be performed through the
|
|
\fBfprintf\fP(3) function with the %lc and %ls directives.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Char oriented output to a wide-character oriented stream can be performed
|
|
through the \fBfwprintf\fP(3) function with the %c and %s directives.
