FGetC

Read a character from the specified input (buffered) (V36)

Reads the next character from the input stream. A -1 is returned when EOF or an error is encountered. This operation is buffered. Use Flush() between buffered and unbuffered I/O on a FileHandle.

fh

FileHandle to use for buffered I/O

char

character read (0-255) or -1. -1 indicates failure; call IoErr() to find out why FGetC() failed.

In V36, after an EOF was read, EOF would always be returned from FGetC() from then on. Starting in V37, it tries to read from the handler again each time (unless UnGetC(fh,-1) was called).
