The
fgetwc ();
function
obtains the next input wide character (if present) from the stream pointed at by
Fa stream ,
or the next character pushed back on the stream via
ungetwc(3).
The
getwc ();
function
acts essentially identically to
fgetwc (.);
The
getwchar ();
function
is equivalent to
getwc ();
with the argument
stdin
RETURN VALUES
If successful, these routines return the next wide character
from the
Fa stream .
If the stream is at end-of-file or a read error occurs,
the routines return
WEOF
The routines
feof(3)
and
ferror(3)
must be used to distinguish between end-of-file and error.
If an error occurs, the global variable
errno
is set to indicate the error.
The end-of-file condition is remembered, even on a terminal, and all
subsequent attempts to read will return
WEOF
until the condition is cleared with
clearerr(3).
