Name
getw, putw — input and output of words (ints)
Synopsis
#include <stdio.h>
int
getw( |
FILE * |
stream) ; |
int
putw( |
int |
w, |
|
FILE * |
stream) ; |
DESCRIPTION
getw
() reads a word (that
is, an int
) from
stream
. It's provided
for compatibility with SVr4. We recommend you use fread(3) instead.
putw
() writes the word
w
(that is, an
int
) to stream
. It is provided for
compatibility with SVr4, but we recommend you use fwrite(3) instead.
RETURN VALUE
Normally, getw
() returns the
word read, and putw
() returns
0. On error, they return EOF
.
BUGS
The value returned on error is also a legitimate data
value. ferror(3) can be used to
distinguish between the two cases.
