Reads one byte from the compressed file.
This is implemented as a macro for speed.
As such,
it does not do all of the checking
the other functions do.
I.e.\&
it does not check to see if
.Fa file
is
.Dv NULL ,
nor whether the structure
.Fa file
points to has been clobbered or not.
.
.Sh RETURN VALUES
.Fn gzgetc
returns the byte
or -1 in case of
end of file
or error.
