UNGETWC(3)		 BSD Library Functions Manual		    UNGETWC(3)

NAME
     ungetwc --	un-get wide character from input stream

LIBRARY
     Standard C	Library	(libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <wchar.h>

     wint_t
     ungetwc(wint_t wc,	FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION
     The ungetwc() function pushes the wide character wc (converted to an
     wchar_t) back onto	the input stream pointed to by 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	positioning functions fseek(3),	fsetpos(3), or
     rewind(3) will discard the	pushed back wide characters.

     One wide character	of push-back is	guaranteed, but	as long	as there is
     sufficient	memory,	an effectively infinite	amount of pushback is allowed.

     If	a character is successfully pushed-back, the end-of-file indicator for
     the stream	is cleared.

RETURN VALUES
     The ungetwc() function returns the	wide character pushed-back after the
     conversion, or WEOF if the	operation fails.  If the value of the argument
     c character equals	WEOF, the operation will fail and the stream will re-
     main unchanged.

SEE ALSO
     fseek(3), getwc(3)

STANDARDS
     The ungetwc() function conforms to	ISO/IEC	9899:1999 ("ISO	C99").
