FGETWS(3)		    BSD Programmer's Manual		     FGETWS(3)

NAME
     fgetws - read wide-character string from a stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     #include <wchar.h>

     wchar_t *
     fgetws(wchar_t *ws, int n, FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION
     The fgetws() function is similar to the fgets(3) function, but rather
     than reading a string of byte sized characters, it uses fgetrune(3) to
     read multi-byte characters and convert them into wide-character codes.

RETURN VALUES
     The fgetws() function returns ws on success and NULL on error.

SEE ALSO
     fgetrune(3),  fgets(3)

BUGS
     If an invalid multi-byte sequence is encountered then NULL is returned,
     errno is set to EILSEQ and all the valid characters up to that point are
     lost.  So saith the standard.
