### 4.45 `putc_unlocked`—non-thread-safe version of putc (macro)

Synopsis

         #include <stdio.h>
         int putc_unlocked(int ch, FILE *fp);

         #include <stdio.h>
         int _putc_unlocked_r(struct _reent *ptr, int ch, FILE *fp);

Description
`putc_unlocked` is a non-thread-safe version of `putc` declared in `stdio.h`. `putc_unlocked` may only safely be used within a scope protected by flockfile() (or ftrylockfile()) and funlockfile(). These functions may safely be used in a multi-threaded program if and only if they are called while the invoking thread owns the ( FILE *) object, as is the case after a successful call to the flockfile() or ftrylockfile() functions. If threads are disabled, then `putc_unlocked` is equivalent to `putc`.

The function `_putc_unlocked_r` is simply the reentrant version of `putc_unlocked` that takes an additional reentrant structure pointer argument: ptr.

Returns
See `putc`.

Portability
POSIX 1003.1 requires `putc_unlocked`. `putc_unlocked` may be implemented as a macro, so arguments should not have side-effects.

Supporting OS subroutines required: `close`, `fstat`, `isatty`, `lseek`, `read`, `sbrk`, `write`.
