.Sh NAME
|
|
.Nm fmemopen
|
|
.Nd open a stream that points to the given buffer
|
|
.Sh LIBRARY
|
|
.Lb libc
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdio.h
|
|
.Ft FILE *
|
|
.Fn fmemopen "void *restrict buffer" "size_t size" "const char *restrict mode"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fmemopen
|
|
function
|
|
associates a stream with the given
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
can be either
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
or must be of the given
|
|
.Fa size .
|
|
If the
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
is
|
|
.Dv NULL ,
|
|
a
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
of the given
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
will be dynamically allocated using
|
|
.Xr malloc 3
|
|
and freed when
|
|
.Xr fclose 3
|
|
is called.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument has the same meaning as in
|
|
.Xr fopen 3 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The stream treats the buffer as it would treat a file tracking the current
|
|
position to perform I/O operations.
|
|
For example, in the beginning the stream points to the beginning of the buffer,
|
|
unless
|
|
.Dv a
|
|
was specified in the
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument, and then it points to the first
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
byte.
|
|
If a
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
was specified, then the stream will always point at the first byte of the
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The stream also keeps track of the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
is initialized depending on the mode:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width r/w+
|
|
.It Dv r/r+
|
|
Set to the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
argument.
|
|
.It Dv w/w+
|
|
Set to
|
|
.Dv 0 .
|
|
.It Dv a/a+
|
|
Set to the first
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
byte, or the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
argument if one is not found.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Read or write operations advance the buffer, but not to exceed the given
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fa buffer .
|
|
Trying to read beyond the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
results in
|
|
.Dv EOF
|
|
returned.
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
bytes are read normally.
|
|
Trying to write beyond the
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
of the
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
has no effect.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When a stream open for writing is either flushed or closed, a
|
|
.Dv NUL
|
|
byte is written at the current position or at the end of the current
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
as kept internally, if there is room.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn fmemopen
|
|
returns a
|
|
.Dv FILE
|
|
pointer.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
is returned and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EINVAL
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
was
|
|
.Dv 0 ;
|
|
or the
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument is invalid;
|
|
or the
|
|
.Fa buffer
|
|
argument is
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
and the
|
|
.Fa mode
|
|
argument does not specify a
|
|
.Dv + .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fmemopen
|
|
function
|
|
may also fail and set
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
for any of the errors
|
|
specified for the routine
|
|
.Xr malloc 3 .
