_getchar_nolock, _getwchar_nolock

Reads a character from standard input.

int _getchar_nolock( void );
wint_t _getwchar_nolock( void );

Return Value

See getchar, getwchar.

Remarks

_getchar_nolock and _getwchar_nolock are identical to getchar and getwchar except that they are not protected from interference by other threads. They might be faster because they do not incur the overhead of locking out other threads. Use these functions only in thread-safe contexts such as single-threaded applications or where the calling scope already handles thread isolation.

    for (i = 0; (i < 80) && ((ch = _getchar_nolock()) != EOF)
                         && (ch != '\n'); i++)
    {
        buffer[i] = (char) ch;
