_IOFBF : _IONBF, BUFSIZ); -.in -.P -The -.BR setbuffer () -function is the same, except that the size of the buffer is up to the -caller, rather than being determined by the default -.BR BUFSIZ . -The -.BR setlinebuf () -function is exactly equivalent to the call: -.P -.in +4n -setvbuf(stream, NULL, _IOLBF, 0); -.in -.SH RETURN VALUE -The function -.BR setvbuf () -returns 0 on success. -It returns nonzero on failure -.RI ( mode -is invalid or the request cannot be honored). -It may set -.I errno -on failure. -.P -The other functions do not return a value. -.SH ATTRIBUTES -For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see -.BR attributes (7). -.TS -allbox; -lbx lb lb -l l l. -Interface Attribute Value -T{ -.na -.nh -.BR setbuf (), -.BR setbuffer (), -.BR setlinebuf (), -.BR setvbuf () -T} Thread safety MT-Safe -.TE -.SH STANDARDS -.TP -.BR setbuf () -.TQ -.BR setvbuf () -C11, POSIX.1-2008. -.SH HISTORY -.TP -.BR setbuf () -.TQ -.BR setvbuf () -C89, POSIX.1-2001. -.SH CAVEATS -POSIX notes -.\" https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=397#c799 -.\" 0000397: setbuf and errno -that the value of -.I errno -is unspecified after a call to -.BR setbuf () -and further notes that, since the value of -.I errno -is not required to be unchanged after a successful call to -.BR setbuf (), -applications should instead use -.BR setvbuf () -in order to detect errors. -.SH BUGS -.\" The -.\" .BR setbuffer () -.\" and -.\" .BR setlinebuf () -.\" functions are not portable to versions of BSD before 4.2BSD, and -.\" are available under Linux since libc 4.5.21. -.\" On 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD systems, -.\" .BR setbuf () -.\" always uses a suboptimal buffer size and should be avoided. -.\".P -You must make sure that the space that -.I buf -points to still exists by the time -.I stream -is closed, which also happens at program termination. -For example, the following is invalid: -.P -.\" SRC BEGIN (setbuf.c) -.EX -#include <stdio.h> -\& -int -main(void) -{ - char buf[BUFSIZ]; -\& - setbuf(stdout, buf); - printf("Hello, world!\en"); - return 0; -} -.EE -.\" SRC END -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR stdbuf (1), -.BR fclose (3), -.BR fflush (3), -.BR fopen (3), -.BR fread (3), -.BR malloc (3), -.BR printf (3), -.BR puts (3) |
