PROLOG         top

       This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The
       Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the
       corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or
       the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME         top

       fgetws — get a wide-character string from a stream

SYNOPSIS         top

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

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

DESCRIPTION         top

       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.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The fgetws() function shall read characters from the stream,
       convert these to the corresponding wide-character codes, place
       them in the wchar_t array pointed to by ws, until n-1 characters
       are read, or a <newline> is read, converted, and transferred to
       ws, or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The wide-character
       string, ws, shall then be terminated with a null wide-character
       code.

       If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position
       indicator for the stream is unspecified.

       The fgetws() function may mark the last data access timestamp of
       the file associated with stream for update. The last data access
       timestamp shall be marked for update by the first successful
       execution of fgetwc(), fgetws(), fwscanf(), getwc(), getwchar(),
       vfwscanf(), vwscanf(), or wscanf() using stream that returns data
       not supplied by a prior call to ungetwc().

RETURN VALUE         top

       Upon successful completion, fgetws() shall return 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 fgetws() shall return a null pointer. If a read error occurs,
       the error indicator for the stream shall be set, fgetws() shall
       return a null pointer, and shall set errno to indicate the error.
