Standard C Library Functions                         getwchar(3C)



NAME
     getwchar - get wide character from stdin stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include 

     wint_t getwchar(void)


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

RETURN VALUES
     Refer to fgetwc(3C).

ERRORS
     Refer to fgetwc(3C).

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