  • DESCRIPTION
      Each of these functions has the same behavior as its counterpart
      without the "_unlocked" suffix, except that they do not use locking
      (they do not set locks themselves, and do not test for the presence
      of locks set by others) and hence are thread-unsafe.
      See
      flockfile(3) .
  • CONFORMING TO
      The four functions
      getc_unlocked (),
      getchar_unlocked (),
      putc_unlocked (),
      putchar_unlocked ()
      are in POSIX.1-2001.

      The non-standard
      *_unlocked ()
      variants occur on a few Unix systems, and are available in recent glibc.











      They should probably not be used.
