23 The __getwchar__ function is the wide-character
24 equivalent of the __getchar__ function. It reads a wide
25 character from __stdin__ and returns it. If the end of
26 stream is reached, or if ''ferror(stdin)'' becomes true,
27 it returns WEOF. If a wide character conversion error
28 occurs, it sets __errno__ to __EILSEQ__ and returns
29 WEOF.
30 !!RETURN VALUE

32
33 The __getwchar__ function returns the next wide-character
34 from standard input, or WEOF.

46 The behaviour of __getwchar__ depends on the LC_CTYPE
47 category of the current locale.

50 It is reasonable to expect that __getwchar__ will
51 actually read a multibyte sequence from standard input and
52 then convert it to a wide character.
