#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> wint_t fgetwc(FILE*stream);
The fgetwc() function obtains the next character (if present) from the input stream pointed to by stream, converts that to the corresponding wide-character code and advances the associated file position indicator for the stream (if defined).
If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator for the stream is indeterminate.
The fgetwc() function may mark the st_atime field of the file associated with stream for update. The st_atime field will be marked for update by the first successful execution of fgetwc(), fgetc(3C), fgets(3C), fgetws(3C), fread(3C), fscanf(3C), getc(3C), getchar(3C), gets(3C), or scanf(3C) using stream that returns data not supplied by a prior call to ungetc(3C) or ungetwc(3C).
Upon successful completion the fgetwc() function returns the wide-character code of the character read from the input stream pointed to by stream converted to a type wint_t.
For standard-conforming (see standards(5)) applications, if the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, fgetwc() returns WEOF whether or not the stream is at end-of-file.
If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set, fgetwc() returns WEOF and sets errno to indicate the error.
If an encoding error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set, fgetwc() returns WEOF, and errno is set to indicate the error.
The fgetwc() function will fail if data needs to be read and:
EAGAIN
The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor underlying stream and the process would be delayed in the fgetwc() operation.
EBADF
The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file descriptor open for reading.
EINTR
The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, and no data was transferred.
EIO
A physical I/O error has occurred, or the process is in a background process group attempting to read from its controlling terminal and either the process is ignoring or blocking the SIGTTIN signal or the process group is orphaned.
EOVERFLOW
The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to read at or beyond the offset maximum associated with the corresponding stream.
The fgetwc() function may fail if:
ENOMEM
Insufficient storage space is available.
ENXIO
A request was made of a non-existent device, or the request was outside the capabilities of the device.
EILSEQ
The data obtained from the input stream does not form a valid character.
The ferror(3C) or feof(3C) functions must be used to distinguish between an error condition and an end-of-file condition.
