getws(3wide)

getws -- get a wide line from standard input

Synopsis

   #include <stdio.h>
   #include <wchar.h>
   
   wchar_t getws(wchar_t s);

Description

getws reads EUC characters from stdin, converts them to wchar_t characters, and places them in the wchar_t array pointed to by s. getws reads until a newline character is read or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The newline character is discarded and the wchar_t string is terminated with a wchar_t null character.

Errors

If end-of-file or a read error is encountered and no characters have been transformed, no wchar_t characters are transferred to s and a null pointer is returned and the error indicator for the stream is set. If the read error is an illegal byte sequence, errno is set to EILSEQ. If end-of-file is encountered, the EOF indicator for the stream is set. Otherwise, s is returned.
