getwchar - read a wide character from standard input
Návod, kniha: Linux Programmer's Manual
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t getwchar(void);
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).
The
getwchar function returns the next wide-character from standard
input, or WEOF.
ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
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.
