+.TH fread 3 2024-05-02 "Linux man-pages (unreleased)"
+.SH NAME
+fread, fwrite \- binary stream input/output
+.SH LIBRARY
+Standard C library
+.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.nf
+.B #include <stdio.h>
+.P
+.BI "size_t fread(void " ptr "[restrict ." size " * ." nmemb ],
+.BI "             size_t " size ", size_t " nmemb ,
+.BI "             FILE *restrict " stream );
+.BI "size_t fwrite(const void " ptr "[restrict ." size " * ." nmemb ],

+.BI "             FILE *restrict " stream );

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The function
+.BR fread ()
+reads
+.I nmemb
+items of data, each
+.I size
+bytes long, from the stream pointed to by
+.IR stream ,
+storing them at the location given by
+.IR ptr .
+.P
+The function
+.BR fwrite ()
+writes
+.I nmemb
+items of data, each
+.I size
+bytes long, to the stream pointed to by
+.IR stream ,
+obtaining them from the location given by
+.IR ptr .
+.P
+For nonlocking counterparts, see
+.BR unlocked_stdio (3).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success,
+.BR fread ()
+and
+.BR fwrite ()
+return the number of items read or written.
+This number equals the number of bytes transferred only when
+.I size
+is 1.
+If an error occurs, or the end of the file is reached,
+the return value is a short item count (or zero).
+.P
+The file position indicator for the stream is advanced by the number
+of bytes successfully read or written.
+.P
+.BR fread ()
+does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use
+.BR feof (3)
+and
+.BR ferror (3)
+to determine which occurred.
+.SH ATTRIBUTES
+For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see
+.BR attributes (7).

+.SH EXAMPLES
+The program below demonstrates the use of
+.BR fread ()
+by parsing /bin/sh ELF executable in binary mode and printing its
+magic and class:

+ELF magic: 0x7f454c46
