    GETC(3S)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		 GETC(3S)

    NAME
         getc, getchar, fgetc, getw - get character or word from
         stream

    SYNOPSIS
         #include <stdio.h>

         int getc(stream)
         FILE *stream;

         int getchar()

         int fgetc(stream)
         FILE *stream;

         int getw(stream)
         FILE *stream;

    DESCRIPTION
         Getc returns the next character from the named input stream.

         Getchar() is identical to getc(stdin).

         Fgetc behaves like getc, but is a genuine function, not a
         macro; it may be used to save object text.

         Getw returns the next int (a 32-bit integer on a VAX-11)
         from the named input stream.  It returns the constant EOF
         upon end of file or error, but since that is a good integer
         value, feof and ferror(3S) should be used to check the suc-
         cess of getw.  Getw assumes no special alignment in the
         file.

    SEE ALSO
         clearerr(3S), fopen(3S), putc(3S), gets(3S), scanf(3S),
         fread(3S), ungetc(3S)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         These functions return the integer constant EOF at end of
         file, upon read error, or if an attempt is made to read a
         file not opened by fopen.	The end-of-file condition is
         remembered, even on a terminal, and all subsequent attempts
         to read will return EOF until the condition is cleared with
         clearerr(3S).

    BUGS
         Because it is implemented as a macro, getc treats a stream
         argument with side effects incorrectly.  In particular,
         `getc(*f++);' doesn't work sensibly.
