No, it returns what fgetc() returns, or EOF if nothing is available.

Manual page says:
-----------------
RETURN VALUE
       fgetc(), getc(), and getchar() return the character read as an 
unsigned
       char cast to an int or EOF on end of file *or error*.
-----------------

(fputc() on the other hand returns only EOF on error.)
