Using and Porting GNU Fortran

8.11.9.104 FGetC Intrinsic (subroutine)

CALL FGetC(Unit, C, Status)

Unit: INTEGER; scalar; INTENT(IN).

C: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Status: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).

Intrinsic groups: unix.

Description:

Reads a single character into C in stream mode from unit Unit (by-passing normal formatted output) using getc(3). Returns in Status 0 on success, -1 on end-of-file, and the error code from ferror(3) otherwise.

Stream I/O should not be mixed with normal record-oriented (formatted or unformatted) I/O on the same unit; the results are unpredictable.

For information on other intrinsics with the same name: See section 10.5.2.38 FGetC Intrinsic (function).
