NAME

     getc, fgetc - get a character from a logical unit

SYNOPSIS

     integer*4 function getc (char)
     character char

     integer*4 function fgetc (lunit, char)
     character char

DESCRIPTION

     These functions return the next character from a file  asso-
     ciated with a FORTRAN logical unit, bypassing normal FORTRAN
     I/O.

     getc reads from logical unit 5, normally  connected  to  the
     control terminal input.

     The value of each function is a system  status  code.   Zero
     indicates  that  no error occurred on the read; -1 indicates
     that the end of the file was detected.  A positive value  is
     either  a  SunOS system error code or an f77 I/O error code.
     See perror(3F).

     Do not mix normal Fortran I/O with calls to getc or fgetc.
