21 !!DESCRIPTION

23
24 When ''mode'' is zero, the __fwide__ function
25 determines the current orientation of ''stream''. It
26 returns a value ''stream'' is wide-character
27 oriented, i.e. if wide character I/O is permitted but char
28 I/O is disallowed. It returns a value
29 ''stream'' is byte oriented, i.e. if char I/O is
30 permitted but wide character I/O is disallowed. It returns
31 zero if ''stream'' has no orientation yet; in this case
32 the next I/O operation might change the orientation (to byte
33 oriented if it is a char I/O operation, or to wide-character
34 oriented if it is a wide character I/O
35 operation).

38 Once a stream has an orientation, it cannot be changed and
39 persists until the stream is closed.

41
42 When ''mode'' is non-zero, the __fwide__ function
43 first attempts to set ''stream'''s orientation (to
44 wide-character oriented if ''mode''

66 and %ls directives.

69 Char oriented output to a wide-character oriented stream can
