--- Comment #1 from Warner Losh <imp@FreeBSD.org> ---
getc and getw first appear in the V1 man page.
but they aren't in what little v1 sources we have.
They are in the unix-72 which is closer to a v2 or v3 system.
And getc/getw aren't the current modern ones, but took an argument that was=
 an
iobuf, not a FILE* They didn't become the modern form until V7 with stdio.
They also changed between v1 and v2 (the buffer size rose from 128 bytes to=
 512
bytes).
So it's likely better to say 'routines of the same name, but different call=
ing
conventions, originated in v1'.
I can't find getchar in the V2 man page, nor v3. But it is in the v4 man pa=
ges
(man page is named getchr.3, but documents getchar()).
fgetc.c first appears in stdio in V7.
