Alternate entries: GT.RCP
B: pointer = getrcp( [unit] ); C: int getrcp( [FILE *unit] );
GETRCP returns a pointer to the next record from the specified input "unit". A -1 is returned if "unit" is at end-of-file, or if "unit" is a non-record-oriented (tty) or output unit. The purpose of GETRCP is to make transcription more efficient by eliminating one data move. Note that GETRCP does no special processing if a record is spanned or partitioned; thus the calling program must take care of this.
For further details on system standard format, see the GFRC manual.
