Pointer to the file stream from which a wide character is to be read

The fgetwcfunction in C language Reads a wide character from the given input stream.
The fgetwc function obtains the next wide character (if present) as a wint_t from the input stream pointed to by stream, and advances the associated file position indicator for the stream (if defined). This function is similar to fgetc, but it reads a wide character instead of a single-byte character. It's particularly useful when working with Unicode text or other multi-byte character encodings.
The fgetwcfunction takes 1
parameter:
•
FILE * `stream`: Pointer to the file stream from which a wide character is to be read
Reads the next wide character from the specified file stream and returns it as a `wint_t`. If the end-of-file is reached or an error occurs, it returns `WEOF`.
The fgetwc function return value :
Returns the wide character read as a wint_t, or WEOF if the end of file is reached or if an error occurs
Output
This example demonstrates the basic usage of `fgetwc`. It reads a file containing wide characters and prints them to the console. Note the use of setlocale to ensure proper handling of wide characters.
