  • 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.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or types:

    “Before I knew that I was Jewish or a girl I knew that I was a member of the working class. At a time when I had not yet grasped the significance of the fact that in my house English was a second language, or that I wore dresses while my brother wore pants, I knew—and I knew it was important to know—that Papa worked hard all day long.”
    —Vivian Gornick (b. 1935)

    “The wider the range of possibilities we offer children, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. We must widen the range of topics and goals, the types of situations we offer and their degree of structure, the kinds and combinations of resources and materials, and the possible interactions with things, peers, and adults.”
    —Loris Malaguzzi (1920–1994)
