NAME

     clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno -- check and reset stream status

LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <stdio.h>

     void
     clearerr(FILE *stream);

     int
     feof(FILE *stream);

     int
     ferror(FILE *stream);

     int
     fileno(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

     The function clearerr() clears the end-of-file and error indicators for the stream pointed to by stream.

     The function feof() tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.	The end-of-file
     indicator can only be cleared by the function clearerr().

     The function ferror() tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.  The error indicator
     can only be reset by the clearerr() function.

     The function fileno() examines the argument stream and returns its integer descriptor.

ERRORS

     The functions clearerr(), feof(), and ferror() should neither fail nor set the external variable errno.  However, the function fileno() may
     fail and return -1 in case the argument stream is not associated with a valid file descriptor.  (In this case the NetBSD implementation does
     not follow the optional POSIX recommendation to set the errno variable to EBADF.)

SEE ALSO

     open(2), stdio(3)

STANDARDS

     The functions clearerr(), feof(), and ferror() conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C89'').  The function fileno() conforms to ISO/IEC
     9945-1:1990 (``POSIX.1'').

NAME

       clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno - check and reset stream status

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       void clearerr(FILE *stream);
       int feof(FILE *stream);
       int ferror(FILE *stream);
       int fileno(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

       The function clearerr clears the end-of-file and error indicators for the stream pointed to by stream.

       The  function  feof  tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.  The end-of-file
       indicator can only be cleared by the function clearerr.

       The function ferror tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.   The  error  indicator
       can only be reset by the clearerr function.

       The function fileno examines the argument stream and returns its integer descriptor.

       For non-locking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).

ERRORS

       These  functions  should  not fail and do not set the external variable errno.  (However, in case fileno detects that its argument is not a
       valid stream, it must return -1 and set errno to EBADF.)

CONFORMING TO

       The functions clearerr, feof, and ferror conform to X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C'').
