48 ungetwc \- push wide-character code back into input stream
55 \fBwint_t\fR \fBungetwc\fR(\fBwint_t\fR \fIwc\fR, \fBFILE *\fR\fIstream\fR);
61 The \fBungetwc()\fR function pushes the character corresponding to the wide
62 character code specified by \fIwc\fR back onto the input stream pointed to by
63 \fIstream\fR. The pushed-back characters will be returned by subsequent reads
64 on that stream in the reverse order of their pushing. A successful intervening
65 call (with the stream pointed to by \fIstream\fR) to a file-positioning
66 function ( \fBfseek\fR(3C), \fBfsetpos\fR(3C) or \fBrewind\fR(3C)) discards any
67 pushed-back characters for the stream. The external storage corresponding to
68 the stream is unchanged.
71 One character of push-back is guaranteed. If \fBungetwc()\fR is called too many
72 times on the same stream without an intervening read or file-positioning
73 operation on that stream, the operation may fail.
76 If the value of \fIwc\fR equals that of the macro \fBWEOF\fR, the operation
77 fails and the input stream is unchanged.
80 A successful call to \fBungetwc()\fR clears the end-of-file indicator for the
81 stream. The value of the file-position indicator for the stream after reading
82 or discarding all pushed-back characters will be the same as it was before the
83 characters were pushed back. The file-position indicator is decremented (by one
84 or more) by each successful call to \fBungetwc()\fR; if its value was 0 before
85 a call, its value is indeterminate after the call.
89 Upon successful completion, \fBungetwc()\fR returns the wide-character code
90 corresponding to the pushed-back character. Otherwise it returns \fBWEOF\fR.
94 The \fBungetwc()\fR function may fail if:
101 An invalid character sequence is detected, or a wide-character code does not
102 correspond to a valid character.
