GETC(3F)GETC(3F)NAME
getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit
SYNOPSIS
integer*4 function getc (char)
character char
integer*4 function fgetc (lunit, char)
character char
DESCRIPTION
These functions return the next character from a file associated with a
FORTRAN logical unit, bypassing normal FORTRAN I/O.
getc reads from logical unit 5, normally connected to the control ter‐
minal input.
The value of each function is a system status code. Zero indicates
that no error occurred on the read; -1 indicates that the end of the
file was detected. A positive value is either a SunOS system error
code or an f77 I/O error code. See perror(3F).
Do not mix normal Fortran I/O with calls to getc or fgetc.
