NAME

stdio.h - standard buffered input/output

 SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

 DESCRIPTION

The <stdio.h> header defines the following macro names as positive integral constant expressions:

BUFSIZ

Size of <stdio.h> buffers.

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 will be at least eight.

_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_cuserid

Maximum size of character array to hold cuserid() output. (LEGACY)

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.

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 will be at least 10,000.

The following macro name is defined as a negative integral constant expression:

EOF

End-of-file return value.

The following macro name is defined as a null pointer constant:

NULL

Null pointer.

The following macro name is defined as a string constant:

P_tmpdir

default directory prefix for tempnam().

The following macro names are defined as expressions of type pointer to FILE:

stderr

Standard error output stream.

stdin

Standard input stream.

stdout

Standard output stream.

The following data types are defined through typedef:

FILE

A structure containing information about a file.

fpos_t

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 are declared as functions and may also be defined as macros. Function prototypes must be provided for use with an ISO C compiler.
