The explain_getw_on_error function is used to call the getw(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from the explain_getw(3) function.

Parameters:

fp	The fp, exactly as to be passed to the getw(3) system call.

Returns:

The value returned by the wrapped getw(3) system call.

 if (result == EOF && ferror(fp))
 {
     ...cope with error
