.SH NAME
fgetws \- get a wide-character string from a stream
.SH SYNOPSIS
.LP
\fB#include <stdio.h>
.br
#include <wchar.h>
.br
.sp
wchar_t *fgetws(wchar_t *restrict\fP \fIws\fP\fB, int\fP \fIn\fP\fB,
.br
\ \ \ \ \ \  FILE *restrict\fP \fIstream\fP\fB);
.br
\fP
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
The \fIfgetws\fP() function shall read characters from the \fIstream\fP,
convert these to the corresponding wide-character
codes, place them in the \fBwchar_t\fP array pointed to by \fIws\fP,
until \fIn\fP-1 characters are read, or a <newline>
is read, converted, and transferred to \fIws\fP, or an end-of-file
condition is encountered. The wide-character string, \fIws\fP,
shall then be terminated with a null wide-character code.
.LP
If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator
for the stream is unspecified.
.LP
The
\fIfgetws\fP() function may mark the \fIst_atime\fP field of the file
associated with \fIstream\fP for update. The
\fIst_atime\fP field shall be marked for update by the first successful
execution of \fIfgetc\fP(), \fIfgets\fP(), \fIfgetwc\fP(), \fIfgetws\fP(),
\fIfread\fP(), \fIfscanf\fP(), \fIgetc\fP(), \fIgetchar\fP(), \fIgets\fP(),
or \fIscanf\fP() using \fIstream\fP that returns data not supplied
by a prior call to \fIungetc\fP() or \fIungetwc\fP(). 
.SH RETURN VALUE
.LP
Upon successful completion, \fIfgetws\fP() shall return \fIws\fP.
If the stream is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator
for the stream shall be set and \fIfgetws\fP() shall return a null
pointer. If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the
stream shall be set, \fIfgetws\fP() shall return a null pointer, 
\ and shall set \fIerrno\fP to indicate the error. 
.SH ERRORS
.LP
Refer to \fIfgetwc\fP().
