GETW(3)                    Linux Programmer's Manual                   GETW(3)



 

NAME


       getw, putw - input and output of words (ints)

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       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 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.

 

CONFORMING TO


       SVr4, SUSv2.  Not present in POSIX.1-2001.

 

BUGS


       The value returned on error is also a legitimate data value.  ferror(3)
       can be used to distinguish between the two cases.
