+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fgetc ,
+.Nm getc ,
+.Nm getchar ,
+.Nm getc_unlocked ,
+.Nm getchar_unlocked ,
+.Nm getw
+.Nd get next character or word from input stream
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdio.h
+.Ft int
+.Fn fgetc "FILE *stream"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getc "FILE *stream"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getchar "void"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getc_unlocked "FILE *stream"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getchar_unlocked "void"
+.Ft int
+.Fn getw "FILE *stream"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fgetc
+function obtains the next input character (if present) from the stream
+pointed at by
+.Fa stream ,
+or the next character pushed back on the stream via
+.Xr ungetc 3 .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getc
+function acts essentially identically to
+.Fn fgetc ,
+but is a macro that expands in-line.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getchar
+function is equivalent to
+.Fn getc
+with the argument
+.Em stdin .
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getc_unlocked
+and
+.Fn getchar_unlocked
+functions perform the same action, but do not obtain the stream lock.
+They require that the stream first be locked with
+.Xr flockfile 3
+for thread safe operation.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn getw
+function obtains the next
+.Vt int
+(if present)
+from the stream pointed at by
+.Fa stream .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+If successful, these routines return the next requested object from the
+.Fa stream .
+If the stream is at end-of-file or a read error occurs, the routines return
+.Dv EOF .
+The routines
+.Xr feof 3
+and
+.Xr ferror 3
+must be used to distinguish between end-of-file and error.
+If an error occurs, the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+The end-of-file condition is remembered, even on a terminal, and all
+subsequent attempts to read will return
+.Dv EOF
+until the condition is cleared with
+.Xr clearerr 3 .
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr ferror 3 ,
+.Xr flockfile 3 ,
+.Xr fopen 3 ,
+.Xr fread 3 ,
+.Xr getwc 3 ,
+.Xr putc 3 ,
+.Xr ungetc 3
+.Sh STANDARDS
+The
+.Fn fgetc ,
+.Fn getc ,
+and
+.Fn getchar
+functions conform to
+.St -ansiC .
+The
+.Fn getc_unlocked
+and
+.Fn getchar_unlocked
+functions conform to
+.St -p1003.1-2024 .
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn getc
+and
+.Fn getw
+functions first appeared in
+.At v1 ;
+.Fn getchar
+in
+.At v2 ;
+and
+.Fn fgetc
+in
+.At v7 .
+The
+.Fn getc_unlocked
+and
+.Fn getchar_unlocked
+functions have been available since
+.Ox 2.5 .
+.Sh BUGS
+Since
+.Dv EOF
+is a valid integer value,
+.Xr feof 3
+and
+.Xr ferror 3
+must be used to check for failure after calling
+.Fn getw .
+.Pp
+Since the size and byte order of an
+.Vt int
+may vary from one machine to another,
+.Fn getw
+is not recommended for portable applications.
