UNGETWC(3) OpenBSD Programmer's Manual UNGETWC(3)NAMEungetwc - un-get wide character from input stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t
ungetwc(wint_t wc, FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The ungetwc() function pushes the wide character wc (converted to an
wchar_t) back onto the input stream pointed to by stream. The pushed-
backed wide characters will be returned by subsequent reads on the stream
(in reverse order). A successful intervening call, using the same
stream, to one of the file positioning functions fseek(3), fsetpos(3), or
rewind(3) will discard the pushed back wide characters.
One wide character of push-back is guaranteed, but as long as there is
sufficient memory, an effectively infinite amount of pushback is allowed.
If a character is successfully pushed back, the end-of-file indicator for
the stream is cleared.
RETURN VALUES
The ungetwc() function returns the wide character pushed back after the
conversion, or WEOF if the operation fails. If the value of the argument
c character equals WEOF, the operation will fail and the stream will
remain unchanged.
SEE ALSOfseek(3), getwc(3)STANDARDS
The ungetwc() function conforms to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').
BUGS
The current implementation uses a fixed sized ungetwc-buffer.
