ILE C/C++ Run-Time Library Functions

Standard Files

When using the UTF support, the default standard input and output files stdin, stdout, and stderr have some special processing done for them by the run-time. Since a program using UTF support contains data in UTF-8 and the standard files interact with the screen and spool files, there is a potential mismatch in data. The screen and spool file routines are provided by the operating system and thus expect EBCDIC. For stdout and stderr, the run-time will automatically convert UTF-8 data to EBCDIC. For stdin, the run-time will automatically convert the incoming EBCDIC to UTF-8 data.
