/sys$common/syshlp/HELPLIB.HLB  —  CRTL  fwide  Description
    The fwide function determines the orientation of the stream
    pointed to by stream and sets the orientation of a nonoriented
    stream according to the mode argument in the following way:

    If the mode
    argument is:     Then the fwide function:

    greater than     makes the stream wide-oriented.
    zero
    less than zero   makes the stream byte-oriented.
    zero             does not alter the orientation of the stream.

    If the orientation of the stream has already been set, fwide does
    not alter it. Because no error status is defined for fwide, the
    calling application should check errno if fwide returns a 0.
