This part is wrong. SUS explicitly states that the char MUST have
the meaning of unsigned.

     The c argument is an int, the value of which the application shall
     ensure is representable as an unsigned char or equal to the value of
     the macro EOF. If the argument has any other value, the behavior is
     undefined.
