GETWCHAR (3) \| C library functions \| Unix Manual Pages \| :man▋ NAME getwchar - read a wide character from standard input CONTENTS Synopsis Description Notes SYNOPSIS #include <wchar.h> "wint_t getwchar(void);" DESCRIPTION The getwchar function is the wide-character equivalent of the getchar function. It reads a wide character from stdin and returns it. If the end of stream is reached, or if ferror(stdin) becomes true, it returns WEOF. If a wide character conversion error occurs, it sets errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF. For a non-locking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3). "RETURN VALUE" The getwchar function returns the next wide-character from standard input, or WEOF. "CONFORMING TO" ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98 NOTES The behaviour of getwchar depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the current locale. It is reasonable to expect that getwchar will actually read a multibyte sequence from standard input and then convert it to a wide character. "SEE ALSO" fgetwc(3), unlocked_stdio(3)
