clearerr(3)

NAME

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

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 pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if  it  is
       set.  The end-of-file indicator 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  clear­
       err function.

       The  function  fileno  examines  the  argument  stream and
       returns its integer descriptor.

ERRORS

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