GETWC(3P) POSIX Programmer's Manual GETWC(3P)
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
the interface may not be implemented on Linux.
getwc — get a wide character from a stream
#include <stdio.h>
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t getwc(FILE *stream);
The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with
the ISO C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described
here and the ISO C standard is unintentional. This volume of
POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.
The getwc() function shall be equivalent to fgetwc(), except that if
it is implemented as a macro it may evaluate stream more than once,
so the argument should never be an expression with side-effects.
Refer to fgetwc(3p).
Refer to fgetwc(3p).
The following sections are informative.
None.
Since it may be implemented as a macro, getwc() may treat incorrectly
a stream argument with side-effects. In particular, getwc(*f++) does
not necessarily work as expected. Therefore, use of this function is
not recommended; fgetwc() should be used instead.
None.
None.
