.SH NAME
ungetwc \- push back a wide character onto a FILE stream
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <wchar.h>
.P
.BI "wint_t ungetwc(wint_t " wc ", FILE *" stream );
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR ungetwc ()
function is the wide-character equivalent of the
.BR ungetc (3)
function.
It pushes back a wide character onto
.I stream
and returns it.
.P
If
.I wc
is
.BR WEOF ,
it returns
.BR WEOF .
If
.I wc
is an invalid wide character,
it sets
.I errno
to
.B EILSEQ
and returns
.BR WEOF .
.P
If
.I wc
is a valid wide character, it is pushed back onto the stream
and thus becomes available for future wide-character read operations.
The file-position indicator is decremented by one or more.
The end-of-file
indicator is cleared.
The backing storage of the file is not affected.
.P
Note:
.I wc
need not be the last wide-character read from the stream;
it can be any other valid wide character.
.P
If the implementation supports multiple push-back operations in a row, the
pushed-back wide characters will be read in reverse order; however, only one
level of push-back is guaranteed.
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR ungetwc ()
function returns
.I wc
when successful, or
.B WEOF
upon
failure.

For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
