Description Toomas Rosin 2020-03-03 15:01:21 UTC 
The section "6.1.  Introduction to the Extended Characters" mentions a non-existent function named "wgetc".  It should probably read "getwc".

    Extended Char Intro: Use getwc in example (Bug 25626)
    
    In the "Extended Char Intro" the example incorrectly uses a function
    called wgetc which doesn't exist.  The example is corrected to use
    getwc, which is correct for the use in this case.
