putw() -- write word to stream

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

int putw(int w, FILE *stream);

The putw() function writes a binary integer to output stream stream in the native format of the local system and advances the file position accordingly. The function does not assume or perform any address alignment at the destination.

This is a legacy function, inherently non-portable.

PARAMETERS

w: Is the value of integer to write to stream.
stream: Points to the output stream.

RETURN VALUES

If successful, the putw() function returns zero. On error, it returns non-zero and sets errno to one of the following values:

EACCES: Another process has the file locked.
EBADF: The value stream is not a pointer to a valid stream opened for writing.
EFBIG: The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to write at or beyond the offset maximum.
EINTR: A signal interrupted the call.
EIO: An output error occurred.
ENOMEM: Memory could not be allocated for internal buffers.
ENOSPC: An attempt was made to write to a full disk.
ENXIO: A device error occurred.
EPIPE: An attempt was made to write to a closed pipe.
