FERROR(3S) FERROR(3S) NAME feof, ferror, clearerr, fileno - stream status inquiries SYNOPSIS #include <stdio.h> int feof(stream) FILE *stream; int ferror(stream) FILE *stream int clearerr(stream) FILE *stream int fileno(stream) FILE *stream; DESCRIPTION Feof returns non-zero if end of file has been encountered on the named input stream, otherwise zero. After returning EOF, stdio(3) functions will not necessarily return EOF again; feof provides a lasting indication. Ferror returns non-zero when an error has occurred reading or writing the named stream, otherwise zero. Unless cleared by clearerr, the error indication lasts until the stream is closed. Clearerr resets the error indication on the named stream. Fileno returns the integer file descriptor associated with the stream, see open(2). These functions are implemented as macros; they cannot be redeclared. SEE ALSO stdio(3)
