The stdio.h Library
stdio.h gives an interface for manipulating text files
- defines a type (
FILE * ) to represent streams
- defines three standard streams (
stdin /stdout /stderr )
- defines a range of operations on
FILE* 's
- operations often come in two versions:
- one operates on specified
FILE* (e.g. fgetc() )
- other operates on standard stream (e.g.
getchar() )
- provides buffering of streams
Note: printf( fmt,...) = fprintf(stdout, fmt,...)
