NAME

putch - write character to file



SYNOPSIS

call putch (c, fd)


character c

filedes fd


DESCRIPTION

Putch
writes the character
c
onto the file specified by
file descriptor "fd".
If
c
is the NEWLINE character,
the appropriate action is taken to indicate the end of the record
on the file.
The character is assumed to be in ascii format; however, if
the output file is not of ascii type, the necessary conversion
is done.


IMPLEMENTATION

Interspersed calls to
putch
and
putlin
work properly.
One implementation is to have
putlin
perform repeated calls to
putch.

If the output file is not ascii, characters are mapped
into their corresponding format via
the routine outmap.
