+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.BR open_memstream ()
+function opens a stream for writing to a memory buffer.
+The function dynamically allocates the buffer,
+and the buffer automatically grows as needed.
+Initially, the buffer has a size of zero.
+After closing the stream, the caller should
+.BR free (3)
+this buffer.
+.P
+The locations pointed to by
+.I ptr
+and
+.I sizeloc
+are used to report, respectively,
+the current location and the size of the buffer.
+The locations referred to by these pointers are updated
+each time the stream is flushed
+.RB ( fflush (3))
+and when the stream is closed
+.RB ( fclose (3)).
+These values remain valid only as long as the caller
+performs no further output on the stream.
+If further output is performed, then the stream
+must again be flushed before trying to access these values.
+.P
+A null byte is maintained at the end of the buffer.
+This byte is
+.I not
+included in the size value stored at
+.IR sizeloc .
+.P
+The stream maintains the notion of a current position,
+which is initially zero (the start of the buffer).
+Each write operation implicitly adjusts the buffer position.
+The stream's buffer position can be explicitly changed with
+.BR fseek (3)
+or
+.BR fseeko (3).
+Moving the buffer position past the end
+of the data already written fills the intervening space with
+null characters.
+.P
+The
+.BR open_wmemstream ()
+is similar to
+.BR open_memstream (),
+but operates on wide characters instead of bytes.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+Upon successful completion,
+.BR open_memstream ()
+and
+.BR open_wmemstream ()
+return a
+.I FILE
+pointer.
+Otherwise, NULL is returned and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.

+.SH HISTORY
+.TP
+.BR open_memstream ()
+glibc 1.0.x.
+.TP
+.BR open_wmemstream ()
+glibc 2.4.
+.SH NOTES
+There is no file descriptor associated with the file stream
+returned by these functions
+(i.e.,
+.BR fileno (3)
+will return an error if called on the returned stream).
+.SH BUGS
+Before glibc 2.7, seeking past the end of a stream created by
+.BR open_memstream ()
+does not enlarge the buffer; instead the
+.BR fseek (3)
+call fails, returning \-1.
