Character Manipulation Function

int getchar(void);

wint_t getwchar(void);

_TINT _gettchar(void);

Internationalization (I18n) Function Overview

The getchar function returns the character read from stdin as an int, or it returns EOF to indicate an error.

getwchar is the wide-character version of getchar, returning a wide-character wint_t, or WEOF in the event of an error.

_gettchar is the Windows-only Generic version of the function; with the _MBCS or _UNICODE compiler flags determining its mapping to either getchar or getwchar.

I18n Issues

Use the appropriate version of the function as required for internationalization support.

See Character I/O for a discussion on non-ASCII character input/output in an internationalized application.

Recommended Replacements*

ANSI UTF-8	`getchar`
ANSI UTF-16	`getwchar`
Microsoft Windows MBCS	`getchar`
Microsoft Windows Unicode	`getwchar`
Microsoft Windows Generic	`_gettchar`

*If you're already using the recommended function, see I18n Issues for other reasons why Globalyzer is detecting the function.
