X-Hacker.org- Borland C++ 2.x ( with Turbo C ) - <b>fgetchar() read a character from stdin</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
 fgetchar()              Read a Character from Stdin

 #include   <stdio.h>

 int        fgetchar(void);

    fgetchar() reads a single character from 'stdin'.


       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:     fgetchar() is equivalent to fgetc(stdin).

                    fgetchar() is similar to getchar(), but getchar() is
                    a macro, while fgetchar() is a function.

   Portability:     MS-DOS only.

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

    The following statements read characters from 'stdin' until a new
    line is reached.

           #include <stdio.h>

           char buff[100];
           int i, c, x;

           main()
           {
               i = 0;
               while ((c = fgetchar()) != '\n')
                     buff[i++] = c;
               buff[i++] = '\0';
               for (x = 0; x < i; x++)
                   printf("%c",buff[x]);
           }
