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.
