_getc_nolock, _getwc_nolock

Reads a character from a stream.

int _getc_nolock( 
   FILE *stream 
);
wint_t _getwc_nolock( 
   FILE *stream 
);

Parameters

  • stream
    Input stream.

Return Value

See getc, getwc.

Remarks

These functions are identical to getc and getwc except that they do not lock the calling thread. 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.

    if (!fp)
    {
       printf("Failed to open file crt_getc_nolock.txt.\n");
       exit(1);
    }

    for (i = 0; (i < 80) && ((ch = getc(fp)) != EOF)
                         && (ch != '\n'); i++)
    {
        buffer[i] = (char) ch;
    }
       
    // Terminate string with a null character 
    buffer[i] = '\0';
