ferror(3S)                                                ferror(3S)


       NAME
             ferror, feof, clearerr, fileno - stream status inquiries

       SYNOPSIS
             #include <stdio.h>
             int ferror(FILE *stream);
             int feof(FILE *stream);
             void clearerr(FILE *stream);
             int fileno(FILE *stream);

       DESCRIPTION
             ferror returns non-zero when an I/O error has previously
             occurred reading from or writing to the named stream [see
             intro(3)], otherwise zero.

             feof returns non-zero when EOF has previously been detected
             reading the named input stream, otherwise zero.

             clearerr resets the error indicator and EOF indicator to zero
             on the named stream.

             fileno returns the integer file descriptor associated with the
             named stream [see open(2)].
