NAME
stdio.h - standard buffered input/output
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
DESCRIPTION
Some of the functionality described on this reference page extends the ISO C standard.
Applications shall define the appropriate feature test macro (see the System Interfaces
volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Section 2.2, The Compilation Environment) to enable the
visibility of these symbols in this header.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros as positive integer constant
expressions:
BUFSIZ Size of <stdio.h> buffers.
_IOFBF Input/output fully buffered.
_IOLBF Input/output line buffered.
_IONBF Input/output unbuffered.
L_ctermid
Maximum size of character array to hold ctermid() output.
L_tmpnam
Maximum size of character array to hold tmpnam() output.
SEEK_CUR
Seek relative to current position.
SEEK_END
Seek relative to end-of-file.
SEEK_SET
Seek relative to start-of-file.
The following macros shall be defined as positive integer constant expressions which
denote implementation limits:
{FILENAME_MAX}
Maximum size in bytes of the longest filename string that the implementation
guarantees can be opened.
{FOPEN_MAX}
Number of streams which the implementation guarantees can be open simultaneously.
The value is at least eight.
{TMP_MAX}
Minimum number of unique filenames generated by tmpnam(). Maximum number of times
an application can call tmpnam() reliably. The value of {TMP_MAX} is at least 25.
On XSI-conformant systems, the value of {TMP_MAX} is at least 10000.
The following macro name shall be defined as a negative integer constant expression:
EOF End-of-file return value.
The following macro name shall be defined as a null pointer constant:
NULL Null pointer.
The following macro name shall be defined as a string constant:
P_tmpdir
Default directory prefix for tempnam().
The following shall be defined as expressions of type "pointer to FILE" that point to the
FILE objects associated, respectively, with the standard error, input, and output streams:
stderr Standard error output stream.
stdin Standard input stream.
stdout Standard output stream.
The following data types shall be defined through typedef:
FILE A structure containing information about a file.
fpos_t A non-array type containing all information needed to specify uniquely every
position within a file.
va_list
As described in <stdarg.h> .
size_t As described in <stddef.h> .
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function
prototypes shall be provided.
