getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.22. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.19.

NAME
     getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit

SYNOPSIS
     integer function getc (char)
     character char

     integer function fgetc (lunit, char)
     character char

DESCRIPTION
     These routines return the next character from a file associated with a
     Fortran logical unit, bypassing normal Fortran I/O.  getc reads from
     logical unit 5, normally connected to the control terminal input.

     The value of each function is a system status code. Zero indicates no
     error occurred on the read; -1 indicates end of file was detected.  A
     positive value will be either a UNIX system error code or an F77 I/O
     error code. See perror(3F).

BUGS
     fgetc(3f) does not work for Fortran unit numbers other than 5.
