Unless you've got a non-standard C-library, getc() returns an int and
therefore the declaration should be `int c' and not `char c'. Here's the
top part of the man page:

NAME
       fgetc, fgets, getc, getchar, gets, ungetc - input of char-
       acters and strings

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       int fgetc(FILE *stream);
       char *fgets(char *s, int size, FILE *stream);
       int getc(FILE *stream);
       int getchar(void);
       char *gets(char *s);
       int ungetc(int c, FILE *stream)
