• Otherwise, it shall return EOF, the error indicator for the stream shall be set, and errno shall be set to indicate the error.

Example: putc() function

In this example, the contents of a buffer are written to a data stream

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
 
#define  LEN_STR 80
 
int main(void)
{
   FILE *stream = stdout;
   int i, C;
   char buffer[LEN_STR + 1] = "C Programming.";
 
   for ( i = 0;
        (i < strlen(buffer)) && ((C = putc(buffer[i], stream)) != EOF);
         ++i);
}
