!!NAME


getw, putw - input and output of words (ints)
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__''stream''__);
int putw(int__ ''w''__, FILE *__''stream''__);
__
!!DESCRIPTION


__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.
!!RETURN VALUE


Normally, __getw__ returns the word read, and __putw__
returns 0. On error, they return __EOF__.
!!BUGS


The value returned on error is also a legitimate data value.
ferror(3) can be used to distinguish between the two
cases.
