63.Fc
64.Sh DESCRIPTION
65The
66.Fn fgetws
67function
68reads at most one less than the number of characters specified by
69.Fa n
70from the given
71.Fa stream
72and stores them in the wide character string
73.Fa ws .
74Reading stops when a newline character is found,
75at end-of-file or error.
76The newline, if any, is retained.
77If any characters are read and there is no error, a
78.Ql \e0
79character is appended to end the string.
80.Pp
81While the
82.Fn fgetws
83function uses the current locale, the
84.Fn fgetws_l
85function may be passed a locale directly. See
86.Xr xlocale 3
87for more information.
88.Sh RETURN VALUES
89Upon successful completion,
90.Fn fgetws
91returns
92.Fa ws .
93If end-of-file occurs before any characters are read,
94.Fn fgetws
95returns
96.Dv NULL
97and the buffer contents remain unchanged.
98If an error occurs,
99.Fn fgetws
100returns
101.Dv NULL
102and the buffer contents are indeterminate.
103The
104.Fn fgetws
105function
106does not distinguish between end-of-file and error;
107callers must use
108.Xr feof 3
109and
110.Xr ferror 3
111to determine which occurred.
112.Sh ERRORS
113The
114.Fn fgetws
115function will fail if:
116.Bl -tag -width Er
117.It Bq Er EBADF
118The given
119.Fa stream
120argument is not a readable stream.
121.It Bq Er EILSEQ
122The data obtained from the input stream does not form a valid
123multibyte character.
124.El
125.Pp
126The function
127.Fn fgetws
128may also fail and set
129.Va errno
130for any of the errors specified for the routines
131.Xr fflush 3 ,
132.Xr fstat 2 ,
133.Xr read 2 ,
134or
135.Xr malloc 3 .

143.Fn fgetws
144function
145conforms to
