NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

     clearerr, clearerr_unlocked, feof, feof_unlocked, ferror,
     ferror_unlocked, fileno, fileno_unlocked -- check and reset stream status

LIBRARY    [Toc]    [Back]

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

     #include <stdio.h>

     void
     clearerr(FILE *stream);

     void
     clearerr_unlocked(FILE *stream);

     int
     feof(FILE *stream);

     int
     feof_unlocked(FILE *stream);

     int
     ferror(FILE *stream);

     int
     ferror_unlocked(FILE *stream);

     int
     fileno(FILE *stream);

     int
     fileno_unlocked(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

     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.

     The clearerr_unlocked(), feof_unlocked(), ferror_unlocked(), and
     fileno_unlocked() functions are equivalent to clearerr(), feof(),
     ferror(), and fileno() respectively, except that the caller is responsible
 for locking the stream with flockfile(3) before calling them.	These
     functions may be used to avoid the overhead of locking the stream and to
     prevent races when multiple threads are operating on the same stream.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

     These functions should not fail and do not set the external variable
     errno.

SEE ALSO    [Toc]    [Back]

      
      
     open(2), fdopen(3), flockfile(3), stdio(3)

STANDARDS    [Toc]    [Back]

     The functions clearerr(), feof(), and ferror() conform to ISO/IEC
     9899:1990 (``ISO C89'').
