std::fgetc, std::getc
| Defined in header <cstdio> | ||
|---|---|---|
| int fgetc( std::FILE* stream ); int getc( std::FILE* stream ); | 
Reads the next character from the given input stream.
Parameters
| stream | - | to read the character from | 
Return value
The obtained character on success or EOF on failure.
If the failure has been caused by end of file condition, additionally sets the eof indicator (see std::feof()) on stream. If the failure has been caused by some other error, sets the error indicator (see std::ferror()) on stream.
Example
#include <cstdio>
#include <cstdlib>
 
int main()
{
    FILE* fp = std::fopen("test.txt", "r");
    if(!fp) {
        std::perror("File opening failed");
        return EXIT_FAILURE;
    }
 
    int c; // note: int, not char, required to handle EOF
    while ((c = std::fgetc(fp)) != EOF) { // standard C I/O file reading loop
       std::putchar(c);
    }
 
    if (std::ferror(fp))
        std::puts("I/O error when reading");
    else if (std::feof(fp))
        std::puts("End of file reached successfully");
 
    std::fclose(fp);
