FERROR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FERROR(3)

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);
 Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
     fileno(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE

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 nonzero if it is set.  The end-of-file
     indicator can be cleared only by the function clearerr().
     The function ferror() tests the error indicator for the stream  pointed
     to  by stream, returning nonzero if it is set.  The error indicator can
     be reset only by the clearerr() function.
     The function fileno() examines the  argument  stream  and  returns  its
     integer file descriptor.
     For nonlocking 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.)
