GETW(3)

NAME
4.39 `getw'--read a word (int)

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>
     int getw(FILE *FP);

DESCRIPTION
`getw' is a function, defined in `stdio.h'. You can use `getw' to get the next word from the file or stream identified by FP. As a side effect, `getw' advances the file's current position indicator.

RETURNS
The next word (read as an `int'), unless there is no more data or the host system reports a read error; in either of these situations, `getw' returns `EOF'. Since `EOF' is a valid `int', you must use `ferror' or `feof' to distinguish these situations.

PORTABILITY
`getw' is a remnant of K&R C; it is not part of any ISO C Standard. `fread' should be used instead. In fact, this implementation of `getw' is based upon `fread'.
   Supporting OS subroutines required: `fread'.
