  11 .SH NAME
  12 fgetwc \- get a wide-character code from a stream
  13 .SH SYNOPSIS
  14 .LP
  15 .nf
  16 #include <stdio.h>
  17 #include <wchar.h>
  18 
  19 \fBwint_t\fR \fBfgetwc\fR(\fBFILE*\fR\fIstream\fR);
  20 .fi
  21 
  22 .SH DESCRIPTION
  23 .sp
  24 .LP
  25 The \fBfgetwc()\fR function obtains the next character (if present) from the
  26 input stream pointed to by \fIstream\fR, converts that to the corresponding
  27 wide-character code and advances the associated file position indicator for the
  28 stream (if defined).
  29 .sp
  30 .LP
  31 If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator for the
  32 stream is indeterminate.
  33 .sp
  34 .LP
  35 The \fBfgetwc()\fR function may mark the \fBst_atime\fR field of the file
  36 associated with \fIstream\fR for update. The \fBst_atime\fR field will be
  37 marked for update by the first successful execution of \fBfgetwc()\fR,
  38 \fBfgetc\fR(3C), \fBfgets\fR(3C), \fBfgetws\fR(3C), \fBfread\fR(3C),
  39 \fBfscanf\fR(3C), \fBgetc\fR(3C), \fBgetchar\fR(3C), \fBgets\fR(3C), or
  40 \fBscanf\fR(3C) using \fIstream\fR that returns data not supplied by a prior
  41 call to \fBungetc\fR(3C) or \fBungetwc\fR(3C).
  42 .SH RETURN VALUES
  43 .sp
  44 .LP
  45 Upon successful completion the \fBfgetwc()\fR function returns the
  46 wide-character code of the character read from the input stream pointed to by
  47 \fIstream\fR converted to a type \fBwint_t\fR.
  48 .sp
  49 .LP
  50 For standard-conforming (see \fBstandards\fR(5)) applications, if the
  51 end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, \fBfgetwc()\fR returns \fBWEOF\fR
  52 whether or not the stream is at end-of-file.
  53 .sp
  54 .LP
  55 If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set,
  56 \fBfgetwc()\fR returns \fBWEOF\fR and sets \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error.
  57 .sp
  58 .LP
  59 If an encoding error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set,
  60 \fBfgetwc()\fR returns \fBWEOF\fR, and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the
  61 error.
  62 .SH ERRORS
  63 .sp

 102 A physical I/O error has occurred, or the process is in a background process
 103 group attempting to read from its controlling terminal and either the process
 104 is ignoring or blocking the \fBSIGTTIN\fR signal or the process group is
 105 orphaned.

 149 .SH USAGE
 150 .sp
 151 .LP
 152 The \fBferror\fR(3C) or \fBfeof\fR(3C) functions must be used to distinguish
 153 between an error condition and an end-of-file condition.
