writeChar (Stream stream, int ch) yoix.io
 
Tries to write the character represented by ch to stream and returns the number of characters actually written, which in this case should be 1, or -1 if an error occurs.
 
 Example:   On a UNIX-like system the program,
import yoix.io.*;

File    file;
int     ch;

if ((file = open("/etc/passwd", "r")) != NULL) {
    while ((ch = readChar(file)) != -1)
        writeChar(stdout, ch);
    close(file);
}
copies the system password file to standard output one character at a time, so it is slow.
 
 Return:   int
 
 See Also:   write, writeLine
