getw, putw - input and output of words (ints)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int getw(FILE *stream);
int putw(int w, FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
getw reads a word (that is, an int) from stream. It's pro
vided 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.
