FUNCTION
<<getc>>---read a character (macro)

INDEX
	getc

ANSI_SYNOPSIS
	#include <stdio.h>
	int getc(FILE *<[fp]>);

TRAD_SYNOPSIS
	#include <stdio.h>
	int getc(<[fp]>)
	FILE *<[fp]>;

DESCRIPTION
<<getc>> is a macro, defined in <<stdio.h>>.  You can use <<getc>>
to get the next single character from the file or stream
identified by <[fp]>.  As a side effect, <<getc>> advances the file's
current position indicator.

For a subroutine version of this macro, see <<fgetc>>.

RETURNS
The next character (read as an <<unsigned char>>, and cast to
<<int>>), unless there is no more data, or the host system reports a
read error; in either of these situations, <<getc>> returns <<EOF>>.

You can distinguish the two situations that cause an <<EOF>> result by
using the <<ferror>> and <<feof>> functions.

PORTABILITY
ANSI C requires <<getc>>; it suggests, but does not require, that
<<getc>> be implemented as a macro.  The standard explicitly permits
macro implementations of <<getc>> to use the argument more than once;
therefore, in a portable program, you should not use an expression
with side effects as the <<getc>> argument.

Supporting OS subroutines required: <<close>>, <<fstat>>, <<isatty>>,
<<lseek>>, <<read>>, <<sbrk>>, <<write>>.

the function returns EOF.
