They are right. According to POSIX for fwrite(), fputs(), fputc():

[EBADF] The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file=20
descriptor open for writing.

There is no EACCES in POSIX for this functions. Please don't reinvent the=
=20
wheel.

The next almost matching candidate for this functions is only:

[ENXIO] A request was made of a nonexistent device, or the request was=20
outside the capabilities of the device.

--=20
