NAME

getc, fgetc − get a character from a logical unit

SYNTAX

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.  The getc funtion 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.  A −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. For further information, see perror(3f).
