SYNOPSIS

int     ffgetc(ffile_t *stream)

ARGUMENTS

stream  Pointer to an ffile_t object

DESCRIPTION

The ffile_t system is simpler than and several times as fast as FILE on typical systems. It is intended for processing large files character-by-character, where low-level block I/O is not convenient, but FILE I/O causes a bottleneck.

RETURN VALUES

EXAMPLES

ffile_t *stream;
int     ch;
if ( (stream = ffopen(filename, O_RDONLY)) == NULL )
{
    fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open %s for reading.n", filename);
    exit(EX_NOINPUT);
}
while ( (ch = FFGETC(stream)) != EOF )
{
}
ffclose(stream);
