What is the equivalent of cin.peek() for C programming? I need to scan files for ‘/r’ and ‘/r/n’ (these are the end of line markers for DOS files) so I need to “peek” ahead to the next character if the current character is a ‘/r’
Thanks!

There is
ungetc(), which allows you to push characters back (as if they were not already read), when you’ve peeked at them.http://www.zyba.com/reference/computing/c/stdio.h/ungetc.php
