Usage of ungetch funtion.

Hi All,

I have been working with java from a long time, I have never worked with C programming language...I am from electronics background so was not in touch with these languages...I have started learning C language these days...and I have found it awesome...atleast I will get something to write as a code...not like java where every thing is provided in packages...I have one question I am searching for the usage of ungetch function, I have found definition everywhere but I couldn't found an example which can explain the usage. Kindly help me on this. I hope to get a positive reply from you guys and also kindly let me know a good ID for C. Thanks!!

It's not a standard C function and I've never seen nor used it.
That's all I can tell you.
If I had to guess, I'd say it puts a character back into the stdin stream.

Citing from the manpage of ungetc(3):

Quote:

---

int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream);

[...]

ungetc() pushes c back to stream, cast to unsigned char, where it is available for subsequent read operations. Pushed-back characters will be returned in reverse order; only one pushback is guaranteed.

[...]

Conforming To
C89, C99.

The Linux manpages are pretty good. If you need help with common C functions, use "linux man <function>" in Google/linux.die.net or, if you're working in a Unix environment, type "man <function>" in the terminal.

ungetch() may be anything, definitely not standard. Most commonly, this is some sort of Windows stuff or the ungetch() function from the (n)curses library. Same trick as above also applies here.

ungetch is not ungetc, though the idea is similiar.

I should stop writing my posts incrementally and instead start a new post...
