CALL FGet(C, Status)
C: CHARACTER; scalar; INTENT(OUT).
Status: INTEGER(KIND=1); OPTIONAL; scalar; INTENT(OUT).
Intrinsic groups: unix.
Description:
Reads a single character into C in stream mode from unit 5
(by-passing normal formatted output) using getc(3).
Returns in
Status 0 on success, −1 on end-of-file, and the error code
from ferror(3) otherwise.
Stream I/O should not be mixed with normal record-oriented (formatted or unformatted) I/O on the same unit; the results are unpredictable.
