        _________________________________________________________________
        setbuf                                                   function
        Assign a buffer to a specified file.
        _________________________________________________________________


        Calling Sequence

        #include <stdio.h>
        FILE *fp;
        char bufptr[BUFSIZ];
        void setbuf();
        setbuf(fp, bufptr); (or) setbuf(fp, NULL);


        Description

        The setbuf function assigns a buffer to a file you specify.  If
        the buffer pointer bufptr is null (0), it specifies an unbuffered
        file and uses single byte I/O.  Otherwise, the routine assumes
        that the buffer can hold at least BUFSIZ characters.  The include
        file stdio.h defines BUFSIZ.


        Returns

        The setbuf function does not return a value.
