 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

     fputc_unlocked(), fread_unlocked(), fwrite_unlocked():
         /* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
             || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _SVID_SOURCE || _BSD_SOURCE

     getwchar_unlocked(), fgetwc_unlocked(), fputwc_unlocked(),
     putwchar_unlocked(), fgetws_unlocked(), fputws_unlocked():
         _GNU_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

     Each  of these functions has the same behavior as its counterpart with-
     out 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   and
     POSIX.1-2008.

     The nonstandard *_unlocked() variants occur on a few UNIX systems,  and
     are available in recent glibc.  They should probably not be used.
