C library functions -ferror()

C Standard Library - <stdio.h>

Description

C Library Functionsint ferror(FILE *stream)Tests the error indicator for the given stream.

Declaration

Below is the declaration of the ferror() function.

int ferror(FILE *stream)

Parameter

• stream-- This is a pointer to a FILE object that identifies the stream.

Return Value

If the error indicator associated with the stream is set, the function returns a non-zero value; otherwise, it returns a zero value.

Example

The following example demonstrates the usage of the ferror() function.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
   FILE *fp;
   char c;

   fp = fopen("file.txt", "w");

   c = fgetc(fp);
   if( ferror(fp) )
   {
      printf("读取文件：file.txt 时发生错误\n");
   }
   clearerr(fp);
   if( ferror(fp) )
   {
      printf("读取文件：file.txt 时发生错误\n");
   }
   fclose(fp);

   return(0);
}

Suppose we have a text filefile.txt, which is an empty file. Let us compile and run the above program, because we attempt to read a file opened in write-only mode, this will produce the following result.
