readChar (Stream stream) yoix.io
 
Returns an integer that represents the next character read from stream, or -1 at the end-of-stream or when an error occurs.
 
 Example:   On a UNIX-like system the program,
import yoix.io.*;

File    file;
int     ch;

if ((file = open("/etc/passwd", "r")) != NULL) {
    while ((ch = readChar(file)) != -1)
        writeChar(stdout, ch);
    close(file);
}
copies the system password file to standard output one character at a time, so it is slow.
 
 Return:   String
 
 See Also:   read, readLine, readStream, ready
