Since glibc 2.3.3:
_XOPEN_SOURCE && ! (_POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L)
|| /* glibc >= 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
|| /* glibc <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Overview
getw() reads a word (that is, an int) from stream. It's provided for compatibility with SVr4. We recommend you use fread(3) instead.
putw() writes the word w (that is, an int) to stream. It is provided for compatibility with SVr4, but we recommend you use fwrite(3) instead.
Return value
Normally, getw() returns the word read, and putw() returns 0. On error, they return EOF.
