PROLOG
       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.

NAME
       getwchar - get a wide character from a stdin stream

SYNOPSIS
       #include <wchar.h>

EXAMPLES
       None.

APPLICATION USAGE
       If the wint_t value returned by getwchar() is stored into a variable of
       type  wchar_t  and  then	 compared  against  the wint_t macro WEOF, the
       result may be incorrect.	 Only the wint_t type is guaranteed to be able
