DESCRIPTION

These routines return the next character from a file associated with a FORTRAN logical unit, bypassing normal fortran I/O.  The getc function 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.
