NAME
     clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno -- check and reset stream status

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

     void
     clearerr(FILE *stream);

     int
     feof(FILE *stream);

     int
     ferror(FILE *stream);

     int
     fileno(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION
     The function clearerr() clears the	end-of-file and	error indicators for
     the stream	pointed	to by stream.

     pointed to	by stream, returning non-zero if it is set.

     The function ferror() tests the error indicator for the stream pointed to
     by	stream,	returning non-zero if it is set.  The error indicator can only
     be	reset by the clearerr()	function.

     The function fileno() examines the	argument stream	and returns its	inte-
     ger file descriptor.

ERRORS
     These functions should not	fail and do not	set the	external variable
     errno.
