fwprintf(3C) fwprintf(3C)

RETURN VALUE

Upon successful completion, these functions return the number of wide-characters transmitted excluding

the terminating null wide-character in the case of

swprintf() or a negative value if an output error

was encountered.

ERRORS

For the conditions under which

fwprintf() and wprintf() will fail and may fail, refer to

fputwc(); see putwc(3C). In addition, all forms of

fwprintf() may fail if:

[EILSEQ] A wide-character code that does not correspond to a valid character has been

detected.

[EINVAL] There are insufﬁcient arguments.

[ENOMEM] Insufﬁcient storage space is available.

In addition,

wprintf() may fail if:

[EILSEQ]

stdout is byte-oriented.

fwprintf() may fail if:

[EILSEQ] The stream pointed to by stream is byte-oriented.

EXAMPLES

To print the language-independent date and time format, the following statement could be used:

wprintf(format, weekday, month, day, hour, min);

For American usage, format could be a pointer to the wide-character string:

L"%s, %s %d %d:%.2d"

producing the message:

Sunday, July 3, 10:02

whereas for German usage, format could be a pointer to the wide-character string:

L"%1$s, %3$d. %2$s, %4$d:%5$.2d"

producing the message:

Sonntag, 3. Juli, 10:02
