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.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
| Interface | Attribute | Value |
getw(), putw() |
Thread safety | MT-Safe |
BUGS
The value returned on error is also a legitimate data value. ferror(3) can be used to distinguish between the two cases.
