putw

Syntax

#include <stdio.h> int putw(int x, FILE *file);

Description

Writes a single 32-bit binary word x in native format to file. This function is provided for compatibility with other 32-bit environments, so it writes a 32-bit int, not a 16-bit short, like some 16-bit DOS compilers do.

Return Value

The value written, or EOF for end-of-file or error. Since EOF is a valid integer, you should use feof or ferror to detect this situation.

Portability

ANSI/ISO C	No
POSIX	No

Example

putw(12, stdout);
