The ! \fBgetwc_l\fR function is similar to \fBfgetwc\fR, except instead of ! acting on the current locale as specified by \fBsetlocale\fR(3C) and ! \fBuselocale\fR(3C), it uses the locale specified by \fIloc\fR. .SH RETURN VALUES - .sp .LP Refer to \fBfgetwc\fR(3C). .SH ERRORS - .sp .LP Refer to \fBfgetwc\fR(3C). .SH USAGE - .sp .LP This interface is provided to align with some current implementations and with possible future \fBISO\fR standards. - .sp .LP ! Because it may be implemented as a macro, \fBgetwc()\fR may treat incorrectly a ! \fIstream\fR argument with side effects. In particular, ! \fBgetwc\fR(*\fIf\fR\|++) may not work as expected.
