.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
reads
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes long, from the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
storing them at the location given by
|
|
.Fa ptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
writes
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes long, to the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
obtaining them from the location given by
|
|
.Fa ptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fread_unlocked
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fwrite_unlocked
|
|
functions are equivalent to
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
respectively, except that the caller is responsible for locking the stream
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr flockfile 3
|
|
before calling them.
|
|
These functions may be used to avoid the overhead of locking the stream
|
|
and to prevent races when multiple threads are operating on the same stream.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
advance the file position indicator for the stream
|
|
by the number of bytes read or written.
|
|
They return the number of objects read or written.
|
|
If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached,
|
|
the return value is a short object count (or zero).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers
|
|
must use
|
|
.Xr feof 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ferror 3
|
|
to determine which occurred.
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
returns a value less than
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
only if a write error has occurred.
