C File Input/output - Member Types

Member Types

Data types defined in the stdio.h header include:

  • FILE - a structure containing the information about a file or text stream needed to perform input or output operations on it, including:
    • a file descriptor
    • the current stream position
    • an end-of-file indicator
    • an error indicator
    • a pointer to the stream's buffer, if applicable
  • fpos_t - a non-array type capable of uniquely identifying the position of every byte in a file.
  • size_t - an unsigned integer type which is the type of the result of the sizeof operator.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or types:

    “For love ... has two faces; one white, the other black; two bodies; one smooth, the other hairy. It has two hands, two feet, two tails, two, indeed, of every member and each one is the exact opposite of the other. Yet, so strictly are they joined together that you cannot separate them.”
    —Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)

    “He types his laboured column—weary drudge!
    Senile fudge and solemn:
    Spare, editor, to condemn
    These dry leaves of his autumn.”
    —Robertson Davies (b. 1913)
