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.
