NAME

getc, fgetc − get a character from a logical unit

SYNOPSIS

integer∗4 function getc (char)
character char integer∗4 function fgetc (lunit, char)
character char

DESCRIPTION

These functions 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 that no error occurred on the read; −1 indicates that the end of the file was detected.  A positive value is either a SunOS system error code or an f77 I/O error code.  See perror(3F). 

Do not mix normal Fortran I/O with calls to getc or fgetc.
