<strong>GETW</strong>
==SYNOPSIS==
#include <stdio.h>
int getw(FILE * stream)
==DESCRIPTION==
<strong>Getw</strong>() returns one word (16 bits for the Z80 and 8086)
from the nominated stream. EOF is returned on end-of-file, but since this is a perfectly good word, the
<strong>feof</strong>() macro should be used for testing for end-of-
file. When reading the word, no special alignment in
the file is necessary, as the read is done by two consecutive <strong>getc</strong>()'s. The byte ordering is however undefined. The word read should in general have been written by <strong>putw</strong>().
==SEE ALSO==
putw, getc, fopen, fclose
