_fgetchar, _fgetwchar

Header File

stdio.h

Category

Console I/O Routines

Prototype

int _fgetchar(void);

wint_t _fgetwchar(void);

Description

Reads a character from stdin.

_fgetchar returns the next character from stdin. It is defined as fgetc(stdin).

Note: For Win32 GUI applications, stdin must be redirected.
Return Value

On success _fgetchar returns the character read after converting it to an int without sign extension. On end-of-file or error it returns EOF.

Example

Copy Code

    #include <stdio.h>
    int main(void)
    {
       char ch;
       /* prompt the user for input */
       printf("Enter a character followed by <Enter>: ");
       /* read the character from stdin */
       ch = fgetchar();
       /* display what was read */
       printf("The character read is: '%c'\n", ch);
       return 0;
    }
