.Dt GETWC 3
.Os
.Sh NAME
.Nm fgetwc ,
.Nm getwc ,
.Nm getwchar ,
.Nd get next wide-character from input stream
.Sh LIBRARY
.Lb libc
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.In stdio.h
.In wchar.h
.Ft wint_t
.Fn fgetwc "FILE *stream"
.Ft wint_t
.Fn getwc "FILE *stream"
.Ft wint_t
.Fn getwchar
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Fn 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
.Xr ungetwc 3 .
.Pp
The
.Fn getwc
function
acts essentially identically to
.Fn fgetwc ,
but is a macro that expands in-line.
.Pp
The
.Fn getwchar
function
is equivalent to
.Fn getwc
with the argument stdin.
.Sh 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
.Dv WEOF .
The routines
.Xr feof 3
and
.Xr ferror 3
must be used to distinguish between end-of-file and error.
If an error occurs, the global variable
.Va 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
.Dv WEOF
until the condition is cleared with
.Xr clearerr 3 .
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr ferror 3 ,
.Xr fopen 3 ,
.Xr fread 3 ,
.Xr putwc 3 ,
.Xr stdio 3 ,
.Xr ungetwc 3
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Fn fgetwc ,
.Fn getwc
and
.Fn getwchar
functions
conform to
.St -isoC-99 .
