FGETWS(3)               NetBSD Library Functions Manual              FGETWS(3)


NAME
fgetws -- get a line of wide characters from a stream
LIBRARY
Standard C Library (libc, -lc)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h> wchar_t * fgetws(wchar_t * restrict ws, int n, FILE * restrict fp);
DESCRIPTION
The fgetws() function reads at most one less than the number of charac- ters specified by n from the given fp and stores them in the wide-charac- ter string ws. Reading stops when a newline character is found, at end- of-file or error. The newline, if any, is retained. If any characters are read and there is no error, a `\0' character is appended to end the string.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, fgetws() returns ws. If end-of-file occurs before any characters are read, fgetws() returns NULL and the buffer con- tents remain unchanged. If an error occurs, fgetws() returns NULL and the buffer contents are indeterminate. The fgetws() function does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use feof(3) and ferror(3) to determine which occurred.
ERRORS
[EBADF] The given fp argument is not a readable stream. [EILSEQ] The data obtained from the input stream does not form a valid multibyte character. The function fgetws() may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routines fflush(3), fstat(2), read(2), or malloc(3).
