GETW(3) NEWLIB GETW(3)NAME
4.39 `getw'--read a word (int)
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int getw(FILE *FP);
DESCRIPTION
`getw' is a function, defined in `stdio.h'. You can use `getw' to get
the next word from the file or stream identified by FP. As a side
effect, `getw' advances the file's current position indicator.
RETURNS
The next word (read as an `int'), unless there is no more data or the
host system reports a read error; in either of these situations, `getw'
returns `EOF'. Since `EOF' is a valid `int', you must use `ferror' or
`feof' to distinguish these situations.
PORTABILITY
`getw' is a remnant of K&R C; it is not part of any ISO C Standard.
`fread' should be used instead. In fact, this implementation of `getw'
is based upon `fread'.
Supporting OS subroutines required: `fread'.
SEE ALSOgetw is part of the library. The full documentation for is maintained
as a Texinfo manual. If info and are properly installed at your site,
the command
