UNGETWC(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual UNGETWC(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The
Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
ungetwc — push wide-character code back into the input stream
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t ungetwc(wint_t wc, FILE *stream);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements
described here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This
volume of POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.
The ungetwc() function shall push the character corresponding to
the wide-character code specified by wc back onto the input stream
pointed to by stream. The pushed-back characters shall be
returned by subsequent reads on that stream in the reverse order
of their pushing. A successful intervening call (with the stream
pointed to by stream) to a file-positioning function (fseek(),
fseeko(), fsetpos(), or rewind()) or fflush() shall discard any
pushed-back characters for the stream. The external storage
corresponding to the stream is unchanged.
At least one character of push-back shall be provided. If
ungetwc() is called too many times on the same stream without an
intervening read or file-positioning operation on that stream, the
operation may fail.
If the value of wc equals that of the macro WEOF, the operation
shall fail and the input stream shall be left unchanged.
A successful call to ungetwc() shall clear the end-of-file
indicator for the stream. The value of the file-position indicator
for the stream after all pushed-back characters have been read, or
discarded by calling fseek(), fseeko(), fsetpos(), or rewind()
(but not fflush()), shall be the same as it was before the
characters were pushed back. The file-position indicator is
decremented (by one or more) by each successful call to ungetwc();
if its value was 0 before a call, its value is unspecified after
the call.
Upon successful completion, ungetwc() shall return the wide-
character code corresponding to the pushed-back character.
Otherwise, it shall return WEOF.
The ungetwc() function may fail if:
EILSEQ An invalid character sequence is detected, or a wide-
character code does not correspond to a valid character.
