4.49 putw—write a word (int)

Synopsis

     #include <stdio.h>
     int putw(int w, FILE *fp);
     

Description
putw is a function, defined in stdio.h. You can use putw to write a word to the file or stream identified by fp. As a side effect, putw advances the file's current position indicator.


Returns
Zero on success, EOF on failure.


Portability
putw is a remnant of K&R C; it is not part of any ISO C Standard. fwrite should be used instead. In fact, this implementation of putw is based upon fwrite.

Supporting OS subroutines required: fwrite.
