Renumber cluase 4 to 3, per what everybody else did when BSD granted them permission to remove clause 3. My insistance on keeping the same numbering for legal reasons is too pedantic, so give up on that point.

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn clearerr
|
|
clears the end-of-file and error indicators for the stream pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn feof
|
|
tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
returning non-zero if it is set.
|
|
The end-of-file indicator may be cleared by explicitly calling
|
|
.Fn clearerr ,
|
|
or as a side-effect of other operations, e.g.\&
|
|
.Fn fseek .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn ferror
|
|
tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
returning non-zero if it is set.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fileno
|
|
examines the argument
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
and returns its integer descriptor.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn clearerr_unlocked ,
|
|
.Fn feof_unlocked ,
|
|
.Fn ferror_unlocked ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fileno_unlocked
|
|
functions are equivalent to
|
|
.Fn clearerr ,
|
|
.Fn feof ,
|
|
.Fn ferror ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fileno
|
|
respectively, except that the caller is responsible for locking the stream
|
|
with
|
|
.Xr flockfile 3
|
|
before calling them.
|
|
These functions may be used to avoid the overhead of locking the stream
|
|
and to prevent races when multiple threads are operating on the same stream.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
These functions should not fail and do not set the external
|
|
variable
|
|
.Va errno .
|
