getwchar(3) -- Linux man page
NAME
getwchar - read a wide character from standard input
SYNOPSIS
#include <wchar.h>
wint_t getwchar(void);
DESCRIPTION
The getwchar function is the wide-character equivalent of the
getchar function. It reads a wide character from stdin and returns
it. If the end of stream is reached, or if ferror(stdin) becomes
true, it returns WEOF. If a wide character conversion error occurs, it sets
errno to EILSEQ and returns WEOF.
For a non-locking counterpart, see
unlocked_stdio(3).
RETURN VALUE
The getwchar function returns the next wide-character from
standard input, or WEOF.
CONFORMING TO
ISO/ANSI C, UNIX98
NOTES
The behaviour of getwchar depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the
current locale.
It is reasonable to expect that getwchar will actually read a multibyte
sequence from standard input and then convert it to a wide character.
