NAME
getw, putw - input and output of words (ints)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
I int getw(FILE * stream );
I int putw(int w , FILE * stream );
DESCRIPTION
R getw ()
reads a word (that is, an
int) from
stream.
It's provided for compatibility with SVr4.
We recommend you use
fread(3)
instead.
R 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,
R getw ()
returns the word read, and
R putw ()
returns 0.
On error, they return EOF.
CONFORMING TO
SVr4
BUGS
The value returned on error is also a legitimate data value.
ferror(3)
can be used to distinguish between the two cases.
