NAME
explain_fwrite_or_die - binary stream output and report errors SYNOPSIS
#include <libexplain/fwrite.h> size_t explain_fwrite_or_die(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *fp); DESCRIPTION
The explain_fwrite_or_die function is used to call the fwrite(3) system call. On failure an explanation will be printed to stderr, obtained from explain_fwrite(3), and then the process terminates by calling exit(EXIT_FAILURE). This function is intended to be used in a fashion similar to the following example: size_t result = explain_fwrite_or_die(ptr, size, nmemb, fp); ptr The ptr, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call. size The size, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call. nmemb The nmemb, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call. fp The fp, exactly as to be passed to the fwrite(3) system call. Returns: This function only returns on success. On failure, prints an explanation and exits. SEE ALSO
fwrite(3) binary stream output explain_fwrite(3) explain fwrite(3) errors exit(2) terminate the calling process COPYRIGHT

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

NAME
fread, fwrite - binary stream input/output SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h> size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream); size_t fwrite(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream); DESCRIPTION
The function fread reads nmemb elements of data, each size bytes long, from the stream pointed to by stream, storing them at the location given by ptr. The function fwrite writes nmemb elements of data, each size bytes long, to the stream pointed to by stream, obtaining them from the loca- tion given by ptr. For non-locking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3). RETURN VALUE
fread and fwrite return the number of items successfully read or written (i.e., not the number of characters). If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the return value is a short item count (or zero). fread does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use feof(3) and ferror(3) to determine which occurred. CONFORMING TO
The functions fread and fwrite conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 (``ANSI C''). SEE ALSO
read(2), write(2), feof(3), ferror(3), unlocked_stdio(3) BSD MANPAGE
