Clib Write Character Method

The Clib Write Character method writes a character, converted to a byte, to a file that you specify. It returns one of the following values:

• If successful, then it returns the value that the char argument contains.
• If not successful, then it returns the following value:

  EOF

The following type of character that the char argument contains determines how this method writes the character:

• String. It writes the first character of the string to the file.
• Number. It writes the character that corresponds to the Unicode value for this number to the file.

Format

Clib.fputc(char, filePointer)
Clib.putc(char, filePointer)

Clib.fputc writes a character to a file. Clib.putc writes a character to the screen. In most situations, to avoid an error with macro usage, you must use Clib.fputc.

Table 148 describes the arguments for the Clib Write Character method.
