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


NAME

     clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno - check and reset stream status


LIBRARY

     Standard C Library (libc, -lc)


SYNOPSIS

     #include <stdio.h>

     void
     clearerr(FILE *stream);

     int
     feof(FILE *stream);

     int
     ferror(FILE *stream);

     int
     fileno(FILE *stream);


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 point-
     ed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.  The end-of-file indi-
     cator 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 inte-
     ger descriptor.


ERRORS

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