There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

|
|
.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:
|
|
getc with the argument stdin.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getc_unlocked
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getchar_unlocked
|
|
functions provide functionality identical to that of
|
|
.Fn getc
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn getchar ,
|
|
respectively, but do not perform implicit locking of the streams they
|
|
operate on.
|
|
In multi-threaded programs they may be used
|
|
.Em only
|
|
within a scope in which the stream
|
|
has been successfully locked by the calling thread using either
|
|
.Xr flockfile 3
|
|
or
|
|
.Xr ftrylockfile 3 ,
|
|
and may later be released using
|
|
.Xr funlockfile 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn getw
|
|
function
|
|
obtains the next
|
|
.Em 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 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 -p1003.1-96 .
|
|
.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 .
|
|
The size and byte order of an
|
|
.Em int
|
|
varies from one machine to another, and
|
|
.Fn getw
|
|
is not recommended for portable applications.
