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 the fortran logical unit lunit, 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).

NOTES

When compiling source with the -Qocs option, an explicit underscore needs to be added to the end of getc.  When compiling source with the -Qocs option, the routine fgetc is not accessible because of the unused parameters that the 88Open OCS standard requires for CHARACTER parameters.
