fgetwc, getwc - read a wide character from a FILE stream

<H2>SYNOPSIS</H2>

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>fgetwc</B>()
function is the wide-character equivalent
of the
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+fgetc">fgetc</A></B>(3)
function.
It reads a wide character from <I>stream</I> and returns it.
If the end of stream is reached, or if <I>ferror(stream)</I> becomes true,
it returns
<B>WEOF</B>.
If a wide-character conversion error occurs, it sets
<I>errno</I> to <B>EILSEQ</B> and returns
<B>WEOF</B>.
<P>
The
<B>getwc</B>()
function or macro functions identically to
<B>fgetwc</B>().
It may be implemented as a macro, and may evaluate its argument
more than once.
There is no reason ever to use it.
<P>
For nonlocking counterparts, see
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+unlocked_stdio">unlocked_stdio</A></B>(3).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>RETURN VALUE</H2>
The
<B>fgetwc</B>()
function returns the next wide-character
from the stream, or
<B>WEOF</B>.
In the event of an error,
<I>errno</I>
is set to indicate the cause.
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>ERRORS</H2>
Apart from the usual ones, there is
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>EILSEQ</B>
<DD>
The data obtained from the input stream does not
form a valid character.

<H2>NOTES</H2>
The behavior of
<B>fgetwc</B>()
depends on the
<B>LC_CTYPE</B>
category of the
current locale.
<P>
In the absence of additional information passed to the
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+fopen">fopen</A></B>(3)
call, it is
reasonable to expect that
<B>fgetwc</B>()
will actually read a multibyte sequence
from the stream and then convert it to a wide character.
