There is important information about booting non-ack images in docs/UPDATING. ack/aout-format images can't be built any more, and booting clang/ELF-format ones is a little different. Updating to the new boot monitor is recommended. Changes in this commit: . drop boot monitor -> allowing dropping ack support . facility to copy ELF boot files to /boot so that old boot monitor can still boot fairly easily, see UPDATING . no more ack-format libraries -> single-case libraries . some cleanup of OBJECT_FMT, COMPILER_TYPE, etc cases . drop several ack toolchain commands, but not all support commands (e.g. aal is gone but acksize is not yet). . a few libc files moved to netbsd libc dir . new /bin/date as minix date used code in libc/ . test compile fix . harmonize includes . /usr/lib is no longer special: without ack, /usr/lib plays no kind of special bootstrapping role any more and bootstrapping is done exclusively through packages, so releases depend even less on the state of the machine making them now. . rename nbsd_lib* to lib* . reduce mtree

.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.In stdio.h
|
|
.Ft size_t
|
|
.Fn fread "void * restrict ptr" "size_t size" "size_t nmemb" "FILE * restrict stream"
|
|
.Ft size_t
|
|
.Fn fwrite "const void * restrict ptr" "size_t size" "size_t nmemb" "FILE * restrict stream"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
reads
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes long, from the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
storing them at the location given by
|
|
.Fa ptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
writes
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
objects, each
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
bytes long, to the stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream ,
|
|
obtaining them from the location given by
|
|
.Fa ptr .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Mixing
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
calls without setting the file position explicitly using
|
|
.Fn fsetpos
|
|
between read and write or write and read operations will lead to unexpected
|
|
results because of buffering the file pointer not being set to the
|
|
expected position after each operation completes.
|
|
This behavior is allowed by ANSI C for efficiency and it will not be changed.
|
|
.Sh RETURN VALUES
|
|
The functions
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
advance the file position indicator for the stream
|
|
by the number of bytes read or written.
|
|
They return the number of objects read or written.
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa size
|
|
or
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
is 0, the functions return 0 and the state of
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
remains unchanged.
|
|
If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached,
|
|
the return value is a short object count (or zero).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fread
|
|
does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers
|
|
must use
|
|
.Xr feof 3
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr ferror 3
|
|
to determine which occurred.
|
|
The function
|
|
.Fn fwrite
|
|
returns a value less than
|
|
.Fa nmemb
|
|
only if a write error has occurred.

The functions

.Fn fread

and

.Fn fwrite
|
