 fgetc()                 Read a Character from a Stream

 #include   <stdio.h>

 int        fgetc(stream);
 FILE       *stream;                     Pointer to file structure


    fgetc() reads a character from 'stream' at the current position. The
    file pointer is incremented to point to the next character.

       Returns:     The character read, after it is converted to an
                    integer.  EOF is returned on error or end-of-file.
                    However, because EOF is a legitimate integer value
                    that can be read by this function, feof() or ferror()
                    should be used to verify an end-of-file or error
                    condition.

         Notes:     The fgetchar() function is equivalent to
                    fgetc(stdin).

                    fgetc() is similar to getc(), but getc() is a macro,
                    while fgetc() is a function.

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements open an existing file and print out its
    contents.

           #include <stdio.h>

           FILE *in;
           int next_ch;

           main()
           {
                if ((in = fopen("alpha.bet","r+"))!= NULL) {
                    while(!feof(in)) {
                        next_ch = fgetc(in);
                        printf("%c",next_ch);
                    }
                    fclose(in);
                }
           }
