PROLOG
This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. The Linux
implementation of this interface may differ (consult the corresponding
Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
not be implemented on Linux.
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 POSIX.1-2008, Section 2.2,
The Compilation Environment) to enable the visibility of these symbols
in this header.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following data types 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.
off_t As described in <sys/types.h>.
size_t As described in <stddef.h>.
ssize_t As described in <sys/types.h>.
va_list As described in <stdarg.h>.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to integer constant expressions:
BUFSIZ Size of <stdio.h> buffers. This shall expand to a posi-
tive value.
L_ctermid Maximum size of character array to hold ctermid() output.
L_tmpnam Maximum size of character array to hold tmpnam() output.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values:
_IOFBF Input/output fully buffered.
_IOLBF Input/output line buffered.
_IONBF Input/output unbuffered.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to integer constant expressions with distinct values:
SEEK_CUR Seek relative to current position.
SEEK_END Seek relative to end-of-file.
SEEK_SET Seek relative to start-of-file.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to integer constant expressions denoting implementation limits:
{FILENAME_MAX}
Maximum size in bytes of the longest pathname 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().
Maximum number of times an application can call tmpnam()
reliably. The value of {TMP_MAX} is at least 25.
On XSI-conformant systems, the value of {TMP_MAX} is at
least 10000.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macro which shall
expand to an integer constant expression with type int and a negative
value:
EOF End-of-file return value.
The <stdio.h> header shall define NULL as described in <stddef.h>.
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macro which shall
expand to a string constant:
P_tmpdir Default directory prefix for tempnam().
The <stdio.h> header shall define the following macros which shall
expand to expressions of type ``pointer to FILE'' that point to the
FILE objects associated, respectively, with the standard error, input,
and output streams:
stderr Standard error output stream.
stdin Standard input stream.
stdout Standard output stream.
The following shall be declared as functions and may also be defined as
macros. Function prototypes shall be provided.

Inclusion of the <stdio.h> header may also make visible all symbols
from <stddef.h>.
The following sections are informative.
APPLICATION USAGE
Since standard I/O streams may use an underlying file descriptor to
access the file associated with a stream, application developers need
to be aware that {FOPEN_MAX} streams may not be available if file
descriptors are being used to access files that are not associated with
streams.
RATIONALE
There is a conflict between the ISO C standard and the POSIX definition
of the {TMP_MAX} macro that is addressed by ISO/IEC 9899:1999 standard,
Defect Report 336. The POSIX standard is in alignment with the public
record of the response to the Defect Report. This change has not yet
been published as part of the ISO C standard.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
None.
