The ffggeettcc() function obtains the next input character (if present) from
the stream pointed at by _s_t_r_e_a_m, or the next character pushed back on the
stream via ungetc.
The ggeettcc() function acts essentially identically to ffggeettcc(), but is a
macro that expands inline.
The ggeettcchhaarr() function is equivalent to: getc with the argument stdin.
The ggeettww() function obtains the next _i_n_t (if present) from the stream
pointed at by _s_t_r_e_a_m.
RREETTUURRNN VVAALLUUEESS
If successful, these routines return the next requested object from the
_s_t_r_e_a_m. If the stream is at endoffile or a read error occurs, the rou
tines return EOF. The routines feof(3) and ferror(3) must be used to dis
tinguish between endoffile and error. If an error occurs, the global
variable _e_r_r_n_o is set to indicate the error. The endoffile condition
is remembered, even on a terminal, and all subsequent attempts to read
will return EOF until the condition is cleared with clearerr.

SSTTAANNDDAARRDDSS
The ffggeettcc(), ggeettcc() and ggeettcchhaarr() functions conform to ANSI C3.1591989
(``ANSI C'').
BBUUGGSS
Since EOF is a valid integer value, feof and ferror must be used to check
for failure after calling ggeettww(). The size and byte order of an _i_n_t
varies from one machine to another, and ggeettww() is not recommended for
portable applications.
