19 FUNCTION
20 <<fopen>>---open a file
22 INDEX
23 fopen
24 INDEX
25 _fopen_r
27 SYNOPSIS
28 #include <stdio.h>
29 FILE *fopen(const char *<[file]>, const char *<[mode]>);
31 FILE *_fopen_r(struct _reent *<[reent]>,
32 const char *<[file]>, const char *<[mode]>);
34 DESCRIPTION
35 <<fopen>> initializes the data structures needed to read or write a
36 file. Specify the file's name as the string at <[file]>, and the kind
37 of access you need to the file with the string at <[mode]>.
39 The alternate function <<_fopen_r>> is a reentrant version.
40 The extra argument <[reent]> is a pointer to a reentrancy structure.
42 Three fundamental kinds of access are available: read, write, and append.
43 <<*<[mode]>>> must begin with one of the three characters `<<r>>',
44 `<<w>>', or `<<a>>', to select one of these:
47 o r
48 Open the file for reading; the operation will fail if the file does
49 not exist, or if the host system does not permit you to read it.
51 o w
52 Open the file for writing @emph{from the beginning} of the file:
53 effectively, this always creates a new file. If the file whose name you
54 specified already existed, its old contents are discarded.
56 o a
57 Open the file for appending data, that is writing from the end of
58 file. When you open a file this way, all data always goes to the
59 current end of file; you cannot change this using <<fseek>>.
62 Some host systems distinguish between ``binary'' and ``text'' files.
63 Such systems may perform data transformations on data written to, or
64 read from, files opened as ``text''.
65 If your system is one of these, then you can append a `<<b>>' to any
66 of the three modes above, to specify that you are opening the file as
67 a binary file (the default is to open the file as a text file).
69 `<<rb>>', then, means ``read binary''; `<<wb>>', ``write binary''; and
70 `<<ab>>', ``append binary''.
72 To make C programs more portable, the `<<b>>' is accepted on all
73 systems, whether or not it makes a difference.
75 Finally, you might need to both read and write from the same file.
76 You can also append a `<<+>>' to any of the three modes, to permit
77 this. (If you want to append both `<<b>>' and `<<+>>', you can do it
78 in either order: for example, <<"rb+">> means the same thing as
79 <<"r+b">> when used as a mode string.)
81 Use <<"r+">> (or <<"rb+">>) to permit reading and writing anywhere in
82 an existing file, without discarding any data; <<"w+">> (or <<"wb+">>)
83 to create a new file (or begin by discarding all data from an old one)
84 that permits reading and writing anywhere in it; and <<"a+">> (or
85 <<"ab+">>) to permit reading anywhere in an existing file, but writing
86 only at the end.
88 RETURNS
89 <<fopen>> returns a file pointer which you can use for other file
90 operations, unless the file you requested could not be opened; in that
91 situation, the result is <<NULL>>. If the reason for failure was an
92 invalid string at <[mode]>, <<errno>> is set to <<EINVAL>>.
94 PORTABILITY
95 <<fopen>> is required by ANSI C.
97 Supporting OS subroutines required: <<close>>, <<fstat>>, <<isatty>>,
98 <<lseek>>, <<open>>, <<read>>, <<sbrk>>, <<write>>.
