+.fi +.SH DESCRIPTION +The +.BR fopencookie () +function allows the programmer to create a custom implementation +for a standard I/O stream. +This implementation can store the stream's data at a location of +its own choosing; for example, +.BR fopencookie () +is used to implement +.BR fmemopen (3), +which provides a stream interface to data that is stored in a +buffer in memory. +.P +In order to create a custom stream the programmer must: +.IP \[bu] 3 +Implement four "hook" functions that are used internally by the +standard I/O library when performing I/O on the stream. +.IP \[bu] +Define a "cookie" data type, +a structure that provides bookkeeping information +(e.g., where to store data) used by the aforementioned hook functions. +The standard I/O package knows nothing about the contents of this cookie +(thus it is typed as +.I void\~* +when passed to +.BR fopencookie ()), +but automatically supplies the cookie +as the first argument when calling the hook functions. +.IP \[bu] +Call +.BR fopencookie () +to open a new stream and associate the cookie and hook functions +with that stream. +.P +The +.BR fopencookie () +function serves a purpose similar to +.BR fopen (3): +it opens a new stream and returns a pointer to a +.I FILE +object that is used to operate on that stream. +.P +The +.I cookie +argument is a pointer to the caller's cookie structure +that is to be associated with the new stream. +This pointer is supplied as the first argument when the standard I/O +library invokes any of the hook functions described below. +.P +The +.I mode +argument serves the same purpose as for +.BR fopen (3). +The following modes are supported: +.IR r , +.IR w , +.IR a , +.IR r+ , +.IR w+ , +and +.IR a+ . +See +.BR fopen (3) +for details. +.P +The +.I io_funcs +argument is a structure that contains four fields pointing to the +programmer-defined hook functions that are used to implement this stream. +The structure is defined as follows +.P +.in +4n +.EX +typedef struct { + cookie_read_function_t *read; + cookie_write_function_t *write; + cookie_seek_function_t *seek; + cookie_close_function_t *close; +} cookie_io_functions_t; +.EE +.in +.P +The four fields are as follows: +.TP +.I cookie_read_function_t *read +This function implements read operations for the stream. +When called, it receives three arguments: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +ssize_t read(void *cookie, char *buf, size_t size); +.EE +.in +.IP +The +.I buf +and +.I size +arguments are, respectively, +a buffer into which input data can be placed and the size of that buffer. +As its function result, the +.I read +function should return the number of bytes copied into +.IR buf , +0 on end of file, or \-1 on error. +The +.I read +function should update the stream offset appropriately. +.IP +If +.I *read +is a null pointer, +then reads from the custom stream always return end of file. +.TP +.I cookie_write_function_t *write +This function implements write operations for the stream. +When called, it receives three arguments: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +ssize_t write(void *cookie, const char *buf, size_t size); +.EE +.in +.IP +The +.I buf +and +.I size +arguments are, respectively, +a buffer of data to be output to the stream and the size of that buffer. +As its function result, the +.I write +function should return the number of bytes copied from +.IR buf , +or 0 on error. +(The function must not return a negative value.) +The +.I write +function should update the stream offset appropriately. +.IP +If +.I *write +is a null pointer, +then output to the stream is discarded. +.TP +.I cookie_seek_function_t *seek +This function implements seek operations on the stream. +When called, it receives three arguments: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +int seek(void *cookie, off_t *offset, int whence); +.EE +.in +.IP +The +.I *offset +argument specifies the new file offset depending on which +of the following three values is supplied in +.IR whence : +.RS +.TP +.B SEEK_SET +The stream offset should be set +.I *offset +bytes from the start of the stream. +.TP +.B SEEK_CUR +.I *offset +should be added to the current stream offset. +.TP +.B SEEK_END +The stream offset should be set to the size of the stream plus +.IR *offset . +.RE +.IP +Before returning, the +.I seek +function should update +.I *offset +to indicate the new stream offset. +.IP +As its function result, the +.I seek +function should return 0 on success, and \-1 on error. +.IP +If +.I *seek +is a null pointer, +then it is not possible to perform seek operations on the stream. +.TP +.I cookie_close_function_t *close +This function closes the stream. +The hook function can do things such as freeing buffers allocated +for the stream. +When called, it receives one argument: +.IP +.in +4n +.EX +int close(void *cookie); +.EE +.in +.IP +The +.I cookie +argument is the cookie that the programmer supplied when calling +.BR fopencookie (). +.IP +As its function result, the +.I close +function should return 0 on success, and +.B EOF +on error. +.IP +If +.I *close +is NULL, then no special action is performed when the stream is closed. +.SH RETURN VALUE +On success +.BR fopencookie () +returns a pointer to the new stream. +On error, NULL is returned. +.\" .SH ERRORS +.\" It's not clear if errno ever gets set... +.SH ATTRIBUTES +For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see +.BR attributes (7). +.TS +allbox;
