!!NAME


getwchar - read a wide character from standard input
!!SYNOPSIS


__#include
__
!!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.
!!RETURN VALUE


The __getwchar__ function returns the next wide-character
from standard input, or WEOF.
!!CONFORMING TO


ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
!!SEE ALSO


fgetwc(3)
!!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.
