+.TH fgetws 3 2023-07-20 "Linux man-pages 6.05.01"
+.SH NAME
+fgetws \- read a wide-character string from a FILE stream
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <wchar.h>
+.PP
+.BI "wchar_t *fgetws(wchar_t " ws "[restrict ." n "], int " n \
+", FILE *restrict " stream );
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR fgetws ()
+function is the wide-character equivalent
+of the
+.BR fgets (3)
+function.
+It reads a string of at most \fIn\-1\fP wide characters into the
+wide-character array pointed to by \fIws\fP,
+and adds a terminating null wide character (L\[aq]\e0\[aq]).
+It stops reading wide characters after it has encountered and
+stored a newline wide character.
+It also stops when end of stream is reached.
+.PP
+The programmer must ensure that there is room for at least \fIn\fP wide
+characters at \fIws\fP.
+.PP
+For a nonlocking counterpart, see
+.BR unlocked_stdio (3).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+The
+.BR fgetws ()
+function, if successful, returns \fIws\fP.
+If end of stream
+was already reached or if an error occurred, it returns NULL.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH STANDARDS
+C11, POSIX.1-2008.
+.SH HISTORY
+POSIX.1-2001, C99.
+.SH NOTES
+The behavior of
+.BR fgetws ()
+depends on the
+.B LC_CTYPE
+category of the
+current locale.
+.PP
+In the absence of additional information passed to the
+.BR fopen (3)
+call, it is
+reasonable to expect that
+.BR fgetws ()
+will actually read a multibyte string
+from the stream and then convert it to a wide-character string.
+.PP
+This function is unreliable,
+because it does not permit to deal properly with
+null wide characters that may be present in the input.
