FREAD(3)                   Linux Programmer's Manual                  FREAD(3)



NAME
       fread, fwrite - binary stream input/output

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);

       size_t   fwrite(const  void  *ptr,  size_t  size,  size_t  nmemb,  FILE
       *stream);

DESCRIPTION
       The function fread() reads nmemb elements  of  data,  each  size  bytes
       long,  from  the stream pointed to by stream, storing them at the loca-
       tion given by ptr.

       The function fwrite() writes nmemb elements of data,  each  size  bytes
       long, to the stream pointed to by stream, obtaining them from the loca-
       tion given by ptr.

       For non-locking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).

RETURN VALUE
       fread() and fwrite() return the number of items  successfully  read  or
       written  (i.e.,  not the number of characters).  If an error occurs, or
       the end-of-file is reached, the return value is a short item count  (or
       zero).

       fread() does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers
       must use feof(3) and ferror(3) to determine which occurred.

CONFORMING TO
       C89, POSIX.1-2001.
