43.Nd un-get wide character from input stream

46.Sh SYNOPSIS
47.In stdio.h

49.Ft wint_t

63.Sh DESCRIPTION
64The
65.Fn ungetwc
66function pushes the wide character
67.Fa wc
68(converted to an
69.Vt wchar_t )
70back onto the input stream pointed to by
71.Fa stream .
72The pushed-backed wide characters will be returned (in reverse order)
73by subsequent reads on the stream.
74A successful intervening call to one of the file
75positioning functions
76.Xr fseek 3 ,
77.Xr fsetpos 3 ,
78or
79.Xr rewind 3 ,
80using the same stream,
81will discard the pushed-back wide characters.
82.Pp
83Only one wide character of push-back is guaranteed,
84but as long as there is sufficient memory,
85an effectively infinite amount of push-back is allowed.
86.Pp
87If a character is successfully pushed-back,
88the end-of-file indicator for the stream is cleared.
89.Pp
90Although the
91.Fn ungetwc
92function uses the current locale, the
93.Fn ungetwc_l
94function may be passed a locale directly. See
95.Xr xlocale 3
96for more information.
97.Sh RETURN VALUES
98The
99.Fn ungetwc
100function
101returns
102the wide character pushed-back after the conversion, or
103.Dv WEOF
104if the operation fails.
105If the value of the argument
106.Fa c
107character equals
108.Dv WEOF ,
109the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged.

112.Xr getwc 3 ,
113.Xr xlocale 3
114.Sh STANDARDS
115The
116.Fn ungetwc
117function conforms to
118.St -isoC-99 .
