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:

    “If you attack the establishment long enough and hard enough, they will make you a member of it.”
    —Art Buchwald (b. 1925)

    “Science is intimately integrated with the whole social structure and cultural tradition. They mutually support one other—only in certain types of society can science flourish, and conversely without a continuous and healthy development and application of science such a society cannot function properly.”
