fgetws - Get a string from a stream
#include <stdio.h> #include <wchar.h>
wchar_t *fgetws(
wchar_t *wcs,
int number,
FILE *stream );
Standard C Library (libc)
Interfaces documented on this reference page conform to
industry standards as follows:
fgetws: XSH5.0
Refer to the standards(5) reference page for more information
about industry standards and associated tags.
Points to a buffer where output wide characters are
stored. Points to the FILE structure of an open file.
Specifies an upper bound (number-1) on the number of characters
to read.
The fgetws() function reads characters from stream, converts
them into the corresponding wide characters, and
stores the result in the wchar_t array pointed to by the
wcs parameter. The function reads until number-1 characters
have been read, it has read and stored in the buffer
the \n (newline) character, or it has encountered the endof-file
condition. The function then appends a null wide
character to the result stored in wcs.
The fgetws() function parallels the fgets() function.
On successful completion, the fgetws() function returns a
pointer to wcs. Under the following conditions, the function
returns a null pointer: The function encounters the
end of the file before any characters are read. In this
case, fgetws() does not store any wide characters in wcs
and sets the end-of-file indicator for the stream. A read
error occurs. In this case, fgetws() sets both errno and
the error indicator for stream. After a read error, the
value of the file-position indicator for stream is indeterminate.
[Tru64 UNIX] The function could not convert
the input character to a wide character.
If any of the following conditions occur, the fgetws()
sets errno to the corresponding value: The O_NONBLOCK
option is set for the file descriptor underlying stream
and the process would be delayed in the fgetws() call.
The file descriptor underlying stream is not a valid file
descriptor that is open for reading. The data obtained
from stdin or the stream did not contain valid characters
in the current locale. The read operation was terminated
by a signal, and no data was transferred. One of the following
conditions was encountered: The process is in a
background process group that is attempting to read from
its controlling terminal and either the process is ignoring
or blocking the SIGTTIN signal or the process group is
orphaned. A physical I/O error occurred. This condition
was defined starting with XSH Issue 4 Version 2. The file
is a regular file and an attempt was made to read at or
beyond the offset maximum that is associated with the corresponding
stream.
