.SH DESCRIPTION
Each of these functions has the same behavior as its counterpart
without the `_unlocked' suffix, except that they do not use locking
(they do not set locks themselves, and do not test for the presence
of locks set by others) and hence are thread-unsafe.
See
.BR flockfile (3).
.SH "CONFORMING TO"
The four functions
.BR getc_unlocked (),
.BR getchar_unlocked (),
.BR putc_unlocked (),
.BR putchar_unlocked ()
are in POSIX.1-2001.

The nonstandard
.BR *_unlocked ()
variants occur on a few Unix systems, and are available in recent glibc.
.\" E.g., in HP-UX 10.0. In HP-UX 10.30 they are called obsolescent, and
.\" moved to a compatibility library.
.\" Available in HP-UX 10.0: clearerr_unlocked, fclose_unlocked,
.\" feof_unlocked, ferror_unlocked, fflush_unlocked, fgets_unlocked,
.\" fgetwc_unlocked, fgetws_unlocked, fileno_unlocked, fputs_unlocked,
.\" fputwc_unlocked, fputws_unlocked, fread_unlocked, fseek_unlocked,
.\" ftell_unlocked, fwrite_unlocked, getc_unlocked, getchar_unlocked,
.\" getw_unlocked, getwc_unlocked, getwchar_unlocked, putc_unlocked,
.\" putchar_unlocked, puts_unlocked, putws_unlocked, putw_unlocked,
.\" putwc_unlocked, putwchar_unlocked, rewind_unlocked, setvbuf_unlocked,
.\" ungetc_unlocked, ungetwc_unlocked.
They should probably not be used.
