PROLOG
       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.


NAME
       fgetws — get a wide-character string from a stream


SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <wchar.h>

       wchar_t *fgetws(wchar_t *restrict ws, int n,
           FILE *restrict stream);


DESCRIPTION
       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2017 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  fgetws()  function  shall  read characters from the stream, convert these to the corresponding wide-
       character codes, place them in the wchar_t array pointed to by ws, until n-1 characters are  read,  or  a
       <newline>  is  read,  converted,  and  transferred to ws, or an end-of-file condition is encountered. The
       wide-character string, ws, shall then be terminated with a null wide-character code.

       If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator for the stream is unspecified.

       The fgetws() function may mark the last data access timestamp of the  file  associated  with  stream  for
       update.  The  last  data access timestamp shall be marked for update by the first successful execution of
       fgetwc(), fgetws(), fwscanf(), getwc(), getwchar(), vfwscanf(), vwscanf(), or wscanf() using stream  that
       returns data not supplied by a prior call to ungetwc().


RETURN VALUE
       Upon  successful  completion,  fgetws()  shall return ws.  If the end-of-file indicator for the stream is
       set, or if the stream is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator  for  the  stream  shall  be  set  and
       fgetws() shall return a null pointer. If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream shall be
       set, fgetws() shall return a null pointer, and shall set errno to indicate the error.


ERRORS
       Refer to fgetwc().
