NAME
     getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit

SYNOPSIS
     integer function getc (char)
     character char

     integer function fgetc (lunit, char)
     character char

DESCRIPTION
     These routines return the next character from a file associated with a
     FORTRAN logical unit, bypassing normal FORTRAN I/O.  getc reads from
     logical unit 5, normally connected to the control terminal input.

     The value of each function is a system status code. Zero indicates no
     error occurred on the read; -1 indicates end of file was detected.  A
     positive value will be either a UNIX system error code or an f77 I/O
     error code. See perror(3F).

FILES
     /usr/lib/libU77.a
