int fgetc( std::FILE* stream ); int getc( std::FILE* stream ); |
Reads the next character from the given input stream.
stream | - | to read the character from |
The obtained character on success or EOF
on failure.
If the failure has been caused by end of file condition, additionally sets the eof indicator (see std::feof()
) on stream
. If the failure has been caused by some other error, sets the error indicator (see std::ferror()
) on stream
.
#include <cstdio> #include <cstdlib> int main() { int is_ok = EXIT_FAILURE; FILE* fp = std::fopen("/tmp/test.txt", "w+"); if(!fp) { std::perror("File opening failed"); return is_ok; } int c; // note: int, not char, required to handle EOF while ((c = std::fgetc(fp)) != EOF) { // standard C I/O file reading loop std::putchar(c); } if (std::ferror(fp)) { std::puts("I/O error when reading"); } else if (std::feof(fp)) { std::puts("End of file reached successfully"); is_ok = EXIT_SUCCESS; } std::fclose(fp); return is_ok; }
Output:
End of file reached successfully
