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.
