clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno - check and reset stream status
#include <stdio.h>
void clearerr(FILE *stream);
int feof(FILE *stream);
int ferror(FILE *stream);
int fileno(FILE *stream);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
fileno(): _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 1 || _XOPEN_SOURCE || _POSIX_SOURCE
The function clearerr() clears the end-of-file and error indicators for the
stream pointed to by stream.
The function feof() tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream pointed to
by stream, returning nonzero if it is set. The end-of-file indicator can only
be cleared by the function clearerr().
The function ferror() tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to by
stream, returning nonzero if it is set. The error indicator can only be reset
by the clearerr() function.
The function fileno() examines the argument stream and returns its integer
descriptor.
For nonlocking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).
These functions should not fail and do not set the external variable errno.
(However, in case fileno() detects that its argument is not a valid stream, it
must return -1 and set errno to EBADF.)
The functions clearerr(), feof(), and ferror() conform to C89 and C99.
