unlocked_stdio(3) Library Functions Manual unlocked_stdio(3)
getc_unlocked, getchar_unlocked, putc_unlocked, putchar_unlocked -
nonlocking stdio functions
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
#include <stdio.h>
int getc_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int getchar_unlocked(void);
int putc_unlocked(int c, FILE *stream);
int putchar_unlocked(int c);
void clearerr_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int feof_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int ferror_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int fileno_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int fflush_unlocked(FILE *_Nullable stream);
int fgetc_unlocked(FILE *stream);
int fputc_unlocked(int c, FILE *stream);
size_t fread_unlocked(size_t size, size_t n;
void ptr[restrict size * n],
size_t size, size_t n,
FILE *restrict stream);
size_t fwrite_unlocked(size_t size, size_t n;
const void ptr[restrict size * n],
size_t size, size_t n,
FILE *restrict stream);
char *fgets_unlocked(int n;
char s[restrict n], int n, FILE *restrict stream);
int fputs_unlocked(const char *restrict s, FILE *restrict stream);
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t getwc_unlocked(FILE *stream);
wint_t getwchar_unlocked(void);
wint_t fgetwc_unlocked(FILE *stream);
wint_t fputwc_unlocked(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);
wint_t putwc_unlocked(wchar_t wc, FILE *stream);
wint_t putwchar_unlocked(wchar_t wc);
wchar_t *fgetws_unlocked(int n;
wchar_t ws[restrict n], int n,
FILE *restrict stream);
int fputws_unlocked(const wchar_t *restrict ws,
FILE *restrict stream);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see
feature_test_macros(7)):
getc_unlocked(), getchar_unlocked(), putc_unlocked(),
putchar_unlocked():
/* glibc >= 2.24: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 199309L
|| /* glibc <= 2.23: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
clearerr_unlocked(), feof_unlocked(), ferror_unlocked(),
fileno_unlocked(), fflush_unlocked(), fgetc_unlocked(),
fputc_unlocked(), fread_unlocked(), fwrite_unlocked():
/* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE
fgets_unlocked(), fputs_unlocked(), getwc_unlocked(),
getwchar_unlocked(), fgetwc_unlocked(), fputwc_unlocked(),
putwchar_unlocked(), fgetws_unlocked(), fputws_unlocked():
_GNU_SOURCE
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
flockfile(3).
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
attributes(7).
