NAME
       getwc(), getwchar(), fgetwc() - get a wide character from a stream file

SYNOPSIS
   Obsolescent Interfaces
   Remarks
       These  functions	 are  compliant	 with  the  XPG4 Worldwide Portability
       Interface wide-character I/O functions.	They parallel the 8-bit	 char‐
       acter I/O functions defined in getc(3S).

DESCRIPTION
       Returns the next character from the named input
		      stream,  converts that to the corresponding wide charac‐
		      ter and moves the file pointer ahead  one	 character  in
		      stream.	is  defined  as and are defined both as macros
		      and as functions.

       Behaves like   but is a function rather than a macro.

       Definitions for these functions, the types and the value	 are  provided
       in header file

   Obsolescent Interfaces
       get a wide character from a stream file.

APPLICATION USAGE
       After  or is applied to a stream, the stream becomes wide-oriented (see
       orientation(5)).

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, and return  the  next  wide-character  read
       from  stream  for  converted to a type If the stream is at end-of-file,
       the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set and is returned.

       When the file corresponding to an open stream gets extended  after  the
       end-of-file  is	reached,  any subsequent calls to these functions will
       succeed and the end-of-file indicator will remain set.  However, in the
       UNIX2003 standards environment (see standards(5)), these functions will
       return and the end-of-file indicator will still remain set.

       If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is  set,  is
       set to indicate the error, and is returned.

       and  can	 be used to distinguish between an error condition and an end-
       of-file condition.

ERRORS
       and fail if data needs to be read into the stream's buffer, and:

       The	      flag is set for the file	descriptor  underlying	stream
		      and the process would be delayed in the read operation.

       The file descriptor underlying
		      stream is not a valid file descriptor open for reading.

       The read operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal,
		      and either no data was transferred or the implementation
		      does not report partial transfer for this file.

       A physical I/O error has occurred, or the process is a
		      member of a background process and is attempting to read
		      from its controlling terminal, and either the process is
		      ignoring or blocking the signal or the process group  of
		      the process is orphaned.

       The data obtained from the input stream
		      does not form a valid wide character.

       Additional values may be set by the underlying function (see read(2)).

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES
   Environment Variables
       category determines how wide-character conversions are done.

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multibyte character code sets are supported.

WARNINGS
       If  the	value  returned by or is stored into a type variable then com‐
       pared against the constant the comparison  may  never  succeed  because
       extension of a to a is machine-dependent.

       and  are	 obsolescent interfaces	 supported only for compatibility with
       existing DCE applications.  New multithreaded applications  should  use
       and
