- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .LP
- .nf
- #include <stdio.h>
- #include <wchar.h>
- .P
- wchar_t *fgetws(wchar_t *restrict \fIws\fP, int \fIn\fP,
- FILE *restrict \fIstream\fP);
- .fi
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
- ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
- ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
- .P
- The
- \fIfgetws\fR()
- function shall read characters from the
- .IR stream ,
- convert these to the corresponding wide-character codes, place them
- in the
- .BR wchar_t
- array pointed to by
- .IR ws ,
- until
- .IR n \-1
- characters are read, or a
- <newline>
- is read, converted, and transferred to
- .IR ws ,
- or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The wide-character string,
- .IR ws ,
- shall then be terminated with a null wide-character code.
- .P
- If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator
- for the stream is unspecified.
- .P
- The
- \fIfgetws\fR()
- function may mark the last data access timestamp of the file
- associated with
- .IR stream
- for update. The last data access timestamp shall be marked for update
- by the first successful execution of
- \fIfgetwc\fR(),
- \fIfgetws\fR(),
- \fIfwscanf\fR(),
- \fIgetwc\fR(),
- \fIgetwchar\fR(),
- \fIvfwscanf\fR(),
- \fIvwscanf\fR(),
- or
- \fIwscanf\fR()
- using
- .IR stream
- that returns data not supplied by a prior call to
- \fIungetwc\fR().
- .SH "RETURN VALUE"
- Upon successful completion,
- \fIfgetws\fR()
- shall return
- .IR ws .
- If the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set, or if the stream
- is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator for the
- stream shall be set and
- \fIfgetws\fR()
- shall return a null pointer. If a read error occurs, the error
- indicator for the stream shall be set,
- \fIfgetws\fR()
- shall return a null pointer,
- and shall set
- .IR errno
- to indicate the error.
- .SH ERRORS
- Refer to
- .IR "\fIfgetwc\fR\^(\|)".
