<h3 class="section">4.46 <code>putchar</code>&mdash;write a character (macro)</h3>
<p><a name="index-putchar-250"></a><a name="index-g_t_005fputchar_005fr-251"></a><strong>Synopsis</strong>
<pre class="example"> #include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
int putchar(int <var>ch</var>);
int _putchar_r(struct _reent *<var>reent</var>, int <var>ch</var>);
</pre>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>putchar</code> is a macro, defined in <code>stdio.h</code>. <code>putchar</code>
writes its argument to the standard output stream,
after converting it from an <code>int</code> to an <code>unsigned char</code>.
<p>The alternate function <code>_putchar_r</code> is a reentrant version. The
extra argument <var>reent</var> is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
<p><br>
<strong>Returns</strong><br>
If successful, <code>putchar</code> returns its argument <var>ch</var>. If an error
intervenes, the result is <code>EOF</code>. You can use `<code>ferror(stdin)</code>' to
query for errors.
<p><br>
<strong>Portability</strong><br>
ANSI C requires <code>putchar</code>; it suggests, but does not require, that
<code>putchar</code> be implemented as a macro.
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
