+.SH PROLOG

+.SH NAME
+getchar
+\(em get a byte from a
+.IR stdin
+stream
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdio.h>
+.P
+int getchar(void);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The
+\fIgetchar\fR()
+function shall be equivalent to \fIgetc\fP(\fIstdin\fP).
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Refer to
+.IR "\fIfgetc\fR\^(\|)".
+.SH ERRORS
+Refer to
+.IR "\fIfgetc\fR\^(\|)".
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+If the integer value returned by
+\fIgetchar\fR()
+is stored into a variable of type
+.BR char
+and then compared against the integer constant EOF, the comparison may
+never succeed, because sign-extension of a variable of type
+.BR char
+on widening to integer is implementation-defined.
+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
