GETW (3) \| C library functions \| Unix Manual Pages \| :man▋ NAME getw, putw - input and output of words (ints) CONTENTS Synopsis Description Bugs 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 SVID. We recommend you use fread(3) instead. putw writes the word w (that is, an int) to stream. It is provided for compatibility with SVID, 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. "CONFORMING TO" SVID "SEE ALSO" fread(3), fwrite(3), ferror(3), getc(3), putc(3)
