<pre class="example">#include <stdio.h>

int getc(FILE *<var>fp</var>);
|
|
|

|
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
|
|
<code>getc</code> is a macro, defined in <code>stdio.h</code>. You can use <code>getc</code>
|
|
to get the next single character from the file or stream
|
|
identified by <var>fp</var>. As a side effect, <code>getc</code> advances the file’s
|
|
current position indicator.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For a subroutine version of this macro, see <code>fgetc</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The <code>_getc_r</code> function is simply the reentrant version of <code>getc</code>
|
|
which passes an additional reentrancy structure pointer argument: <var>ptr</var>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
|
|
The next character (read as an <code>unsigned char</code>, and cast to
|
|
<code>int</code>), unless there is no more data, or the host system reports a
|
|
read error; in either of these situations, <code>getc</code> returns <code>EOF</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>You can distinguish the two situations that cause an <code>EOF</code> result by
|
|
using the <code>ferror</code> and <code>feof</code> functions.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<br>
|
|
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
|
|
ANSI C requires <code>getc</code>; it suggests, but does not require, that
|
|
<code>getc</code> be implemented as a macro. The standard explicitly permits
|
|
macro implementations of <code>getc</code> to use the argument more than once;
|
|
therefore, in a portable program, you should not use an expression
|
|
with side effects as the <code>getc</code> argument.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
|
|
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
|
|
