.Sh DESCRIPTION
The

-function pushes the wide-character
+function pushes the wide character
.Fa wc
(converted to an
.Vt wchar_t )
back onto the input stream pointed to by
.Fa 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

-One wide-character of push-back is guaranteed,

.Pp
If a character is successfully pushed-back,
the end-of-file indicator for the stream is cleared.
+.Pp
+Although the
+.Fn ungetwc
+function uses the current locale, the
+.Fn ungetwc_l
+function may be passed a locale directly. See
+.Xr xlocale 3
+for more information.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
The
.Fn ungetwc
function
returns
-the wide-character pushed-back after the conversion, or
+the wide character pushed-back after the conversion, or
.Dv WEOF
if the operation fails.
If the value of the argument
the operation will fail and the stream will remain unchanged.
