  23 .SH DESCRIPTION
  24 .sp
  25 .LP
  26 The \fBfgetwc()\fR and \fBfgetwc_l\fR functions obtains the next
  27 character (if present) from the input stream pointed to by \fIstream\fR,
  28 converts that to the corresponding wide-character code and advances the
  29 associated file position indicator for the stream (if defined). As
  30 opposed to using the current locale as determined by \fBsetlocale\fR(3C)
  31 and \fBuselocale\fR(3C), \fRfgetwc_l()\fR uses the locale passed in as
  32 \fBloc\fR.
  33 
  34 .sp
  35 .LP
  36 If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator for the
  37 stream is indeterminate.
  38 .sp
  39 .LP
  40 The \fBfgetwc()\fR and \fBfgetwc_l\fR functions may mark the \fBst_atime\fR field of the file

  41 associated with \fIstream\fR for update. The \fBst_atime\fR field will be
  42 marked for update by the first successful execution of \fBfgetwc()\fR,
  43 \fBfgetc\fR(3C), \fBfgets\fR(3C), \fBfgetws\fR(3C), \fBfread\fR(3C),
  44 \fBfscanf\fR(3C), \fBgetc\fR(3C), \fBgetchar\fR(3C), \fBgets\fR(3C), or
  45 \fBscanf\fR(3C) using \fIstream\fR that returns data not supplied by a prior
  46 call to \fBungetc\fR(3C) or \fBungetwc\fR(3C).
  47 .SH RETURN VALUES
  48 .sp
  49 .LP
  50 Upon successful completion both functions returns the
  51 wide-character code of the character read from the input stream pointed to by
  52 \fIstream\fR converted to a type \fBwint_t\fR.
  53 .sp
  54 .LP
  55 For standard-conforming (see \fBstandards\fR(5)) applications, if the
  56 end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, \fBfgetwc()\fR and
  57 \fBfgetwc_l()\fR returns \fBWEOF\fR whether or not the stream is at
  58 end-of-file.
  59 .sp
  60 .LP
  61 If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set,
  62 \fBfgetwc()\fR and \fBfgetwc_l()\fR returns \fBWEOF\fR and sets
  63 \fBerrno\fR to indicate the error.
  64 .sp
  65 .LP
  66 If an encoding error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set,
  67 \fBfgetwc()\fR and \fBfgetwc_l()\fRreturns \fBWEOF\fR, and \fBerrno\fR is set to indicate the
  68 error.
