.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fopen
|
|
function
|
|
opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
and associates a stream with it.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
points to a string beginning with one of the following
|
|
sequences (Additional characters may follow these sequences.):
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Dq Li r
|
|
Open text file for reading.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
|
|
.It Dq Li r+
|
|
Open for reading and writing.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
|
|
.It Dq Li w
|
|
Truncate file to zero length or create text file for writing.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
|
|
.It Dq Li w+
|
|
Open for reading and writing.
|
|
The file is created if it does not exist, otherwise it is truncated.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.
|
|
.It Dq Li a
|
|
Open for writing.
|
|
The file is created if it does not exist.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the end of the file.
|
|
Subsequent writes to the file will always end up at the then current
|
|
end of file, irrespective of any intervening
|
|
.Xr fseek 3
|
|
or similar.
|
|
.It Dq Li a+
|
|
Open for reading and writing.
|
|
The file is created if it does not exist.
|
|
The stream is positioned at the end of the file.
|
|
Subsequent writes to the file will always end up at the then current
|
|
end of file, irrespective of any intervening
|
|
.Xr fseek 3
|
|
or similar.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
string can also include the letter ``b'' either as a third character or
|
|
as a character between the characters in any of the two-character strings
|
|
described above.
|
|
This is strictly for compatibility with
|
|
.St -isoC
|
|
and has no effect; the ``b'' is ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any created files will have mode
|
|
.Pf \\*q Dv S_IRUSR
|
|
\&|
|
|
.Dv S_IWUSR
|
|
\&|
|
|
.Dv S_IRGRP
|
|
\&|
|
|
.Dv S_IWGRP
|
|
\&|
|
|
.Dv S_IROTH
|
|
\&|
|
|
.Dv S_IWOTH Ns \\*q
|
|
.Pq Li 0666 ,
|
|
as modified by the process'
|
|
umask value (see
|
|
.Xr umask 2 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Reads and writes may be intermixed on read/write streams in any order,
|
|
and do not require an intermediate seek as in previous versions of
|
|
.Em stdio .
|
|
This is not portable to other systems, however;
|
|
.Tn ANSI C
|
|
requires that
|
|
a file positioning function intervene between output and input, unless
|
|
an input operation encounters end-of-file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fdopen
|
|
function associates a stream with the existing file descriptor,
|
|
.Fa fildes .
|
|
The mode
|
|
of the stream must be compatible with the mode of the file descriptor.
|
|
When the stream is closed via
|
|
.Xr fclose 3 ,
|
|
.Fa fildes
|
|
is closed also.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn freopen
|
|
function
|
|
opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by
|
|
.Fa path
|
|
and associates the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
with it.
|
|
The original stream (if it exists) is closed.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument is used just as in the
|
|
.Fn fopen
|
|
function.
|
|
The primary use of the
|
|
.Fn freopen
|
|
function
|
|
is to change the file associated with a
|
|
standard text stream
|
|
.Dv ( stderr , stdin ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv stdout ) .
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion
|
|
.Fn fopen ,
|
|
.Fn fdopen
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn freopen
|
|
return a
|
|
.Tn FILE
|
|
pointer.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
