    FREAD(3S)	    UNIX Programmer's Manual		FREAD(3S)

    NAME
         fread, fwrite - buffered binary input/output

    SYNOPSIS
         #include <stdio.h>

         fread(ptr, sizeof(*ptr), nitems, stream)
         FILE *stream;

         fwrite(ptr, sizeof(*ptr), nitems, stream)
         FILE *stream;

    DESCRIPTION
         Fread reads, into a block beginning at ptr, nitems of data
         of the type of *ptr from the named input stream.  It returns
         the number of items actually read.

         If stream is stdin and the standard output is line buffered,
         then any partial output line will be flushed before any call
         to read(2) to satisfy the fread.

         Fwrite appends at most nitems of data of the type of *ptr
         beginning at ptr to the named output stream.  It returns the
         number of items actually written.

    SEE ALSO
         read(2), write(2), fopen(3S), getc(3S), putc(3S), gets(3S),
         puts(3S), printf(3S), scanf(3S)

    DIAGNOSTICS
         Fread and fwrite return 0 upon end of file or error.
