<stdio.h>(0P)              POSIX Programmer's Manual             <stdio.h>(0P)

NAME
       stdio.h - standard buffered input/output
SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>
DESCRIPTION
       Some  of the functionality described on this reference page extends the
       ISO C standard. Applications shall define the appropriate feature  test
       macro  (see  the System Interfaces volume of IEEE Std 1003.1-2001, Sec-
       tion 2.2, The Compilation Environment)  to  enable  the  visibility  of
       these symbols in this header.
       The  <stdio.h>  header  shall  define  the following macros as positive
       integer constant expressions:
       BUFSIZ Size of <stdio.h> buffers.
       _IOFBF Input/output fully buffered.
       _IOLBF Input/output line buffered.
       _IONBF Input/output unbuffered.
       L_ctermid
              Maximum size of character array to hold ctermid() output.
       L_tmpnam
              Maximum size of character array to hold tmpnam() output.
       SEEK_CUR
              Seek relative to current position.
       SEEK_END
              Seek relative to end-of-file.
       SEEK_SET
              Seek relative to start-of-file.

       The following macros shall be  defined  as  positive  integer  constant
       expressions which denote implementation limits:
       {FILENAME_MAX}
              Maximum  size  in  bytes of the longest filename string that the
              implementation guarantees can be opened.
       {FOPEN_MAX}
              Number of streams which the  implementation  guarantees  can  be
              open simultaneously. The value is at least eight.
       {TMP_MAX}
              Minimum  number of unique filenames generated by tmpnam(). Maxi-
              mum number of times an application can call  tmpnam()  reliably.
              The  value of {TMP_MAX} is at least 25.   On XSI-conformant sys-
              tems, the value of {TMP_MAX} is at least 10000.

       The following macro name shall be defined as a  negative  integer  con-
       stant expression:
       EOF    End-of-file return value.

       The following macro name shall be defined as a null pointer constant:
       NULL   Null pointer.

       The following macro name shall be defined as a string constant:
       P_tmpdir
              Default directory prefix for tempnam().

       The following shall be defined as expressions of type "pointer to FILE"
       that point to the FILE objects associated, respectively, with the stan-
       dard error, input, and output streams:
       stderr Standard error output stream.
       stdin  Standard input stream.
       stdout Standard output stream.

       The following data types shall be defined through typedef:
       FILE   A structure containing information about a file.
       fpos_t A  non-array  type  containing all information needed to specify
              uniquely every position within a file.
       va_list
              As described in <stdarg.h> .
       size_t As described in <stddef.h> .

       The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
       macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.
