|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
#include <stdio.h>
|
|
.sp 1
|
|
size_t \fBfread\fR (void *\fIptr\fR, size_t \fIsize\fR, size_t \fInmemb\fR, FILE *\fIstream\fR);

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fread
|
|
reads
|
|
.I nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.I size
|
|
bytes long, from the stream pointed to by
|
|
.IR stream ,
|
|
storing them at the location given by
|
|
.IR ptr .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fwrite
|
|
writes
|
|
.I nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.I size
|
|
bytes long, to the stream pointed to by
|
|
.IR stream ,
|
|
obtaining them from the location given by
|
|
.IR ptr .
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions
|
|
.BR fread
|
|
and
|
|
.BR fwrite
|
|
advance the file position indicator for the stream
|
|
by the number of bytes read or written.
|
|
They return the number of objects read or written.
|
|
If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached,
|
|
the return value is a short object count (or zero).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fread
|
|
does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers
|
|
must use
|
|
.BR feof (3)
|
|
and
|
|
.BR ferror (3)
|
|
to determine which occurred.
|
|
The function
|
|
.BR fwrite
|
|
returns a value less than
|
|
.I nmemb
|
|
only if a write error has occurred.
|
|

|
.SH STANDARDS
|
|
The functions
|
|
.BR fread
|
|
and
|
|
.BR fwrite
|
|
conform to ANSI/C.
