NAME
     getwchar - get wide character from stdin stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     wintt getwchar(void)


DESCRIPTION
     The getwchar() function is equivalent to getwc(stdin).

RETURN VALUES

ERORS
     Refer to fgetwc(3C).

USAGE
     If the wintt value returned by getwchar() is stored into  a
     variable  of  type  wchart  and  then  compared against the
     wintt macro WEOF, the comparison may never succeed  because
     wchart is defined as unsigned.
