- Is the prohibition
-
- 7.9.2 Streams
- byte input/output functions cannot be applied to a wide-orientated
- stream, and wide-character input/output functions cannot be applied
- to a byte- orientated stream.
-
- applied to applications, or is the implementation constrained?
-
- Meaning: Is the implementation allowed to (under the covers) operate
- totally in byte-mode, as long as the proper effects are observed by the
- application (which should not attempt byte operations on a stream in the
- "wide" state or vice versa)?
