getc(3F)                                                 getc(3F)



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 associ-
     ated with the fortran logical unit lunit, bypassing normal
     fortran I/O.  getc reads from logical unit 5, normally con-
     nected 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

SEE ALSO
     getc(3S), intro(2), 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 parame-
     ters.
