12 fwide \- set stream orientation
19 \fBint\fR \fBfwide\fR(\fBFILE *\fR\fIstream\fR, \fBint\fR \fImode\fR);
24 The \fBfwide()\fR function determines the orientation of the stream pointed to
25 by \fIstream\fR. If \fImode\fR is greater than 0, the function first attempts
26 to make the stream wide-oriented. If \fImode\fR is less than 0, the function
27 first attempts to make the stream byte-oriented. Otherwise, \fImode\fR is 0
28 and the function does not alter the orientation of the stream.
31 If the orientation of the stream has already been determined, \fBfwide()\fR
35 Because no return value is reserved to indicate an error, an application
36 wishing to check for error situations should set \fBerrno\fR to 0, then call
37 \fBfwide()\fR, then check \fBerrno\fR and if it is non-zero, assume an error
41 The \fBfwide()\fR function returns a value greater than 0 if, after the call,
42 the stream has wide-orientation, a value less than 0 if the stream has
43 byte-orientation, or 0 if the stream has no orientation.
46 The \fBfwide()\fR function may fail if:
53 The \fIstream\fR argument is not a valid stream.
58 A call to \fBfwide()\fR with \fImode\fR set to 0 can be used to determine the
59 current orientation of a stream.
