GETW
NAME SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION RETURN VALUE BUGS CONFORMING TO SEE ALSO
getw, putw - input and output of words (ints)
#include stream); int putw(int w, FILE *stream);
getw reads a word (that is, an int) from stream. It's provided for compatibility with SVID. We recommend you use fread(3) instead.
putw writes the word w (that is, an int) to stream. It is provided for compatibility with SVID, but we recommend you use fwrite(3) instead.
Normally, getw returns the word read, and putw returns 0. On error, they return EOF.
The value returned on error is also a legitimate data value. ferror(3) can be used to distinguish between the two cases.
