NAME
fopencookie - opening a custom streamSYNOPSIS
#define _GNU_SOURCE #include <stdio.h> FILE *fopencookie(void *cookie, const char *mode, cookie_io_functions_t io_funcs);
DESCRIPTION
The fopencookie() function allows the programmer to create a custom implementation for a standard I/O stream. This implementation can store the stream's data at a location of its own choosing; for example, fopencookie() is used to implement fmemopen(3), which provides a stream interface to data that is stored in a buffer in memory.In order to create a custom stream the programmer must:
- *
- Implement four "hook" functions that are used internally by the standard I/O library when performing I/O on the stream.
- *
- Define a "cookie" data type, a structure that provides bookkeeping information (e.g., where to store data) used by the aforementioned hook functions. The standard I/O package knows nothing about the contents of this cookie (thus it is typed as void * when passed to fopencookie()), but automatically supplies the cookie as the first argument when calling the hook functions.
- *
- Call fopencookie() to open a new stream and associate the cookie and hook functions with that stream.
The fopencookie() function serves a purpose similar to fopen(3): it opens a new stream and returns a pointer to a FILE object that is used to operate on that stream.
The cookie argument is a pointer to the caller's cookie structure that is to be associated with the new stream. This pointer is supplied as the first argument when the standard I/O library invokes any of the hook functions described below.
The mode argument serves the same purpose as for fopen(3). The following modes are supported: r, w, a, r+, w+, and a+. See fopen(3) for details.
The io_funcs argument is a structure that contains four fields pointing to the programmer-defined hook functions that are used to implement this stream. The structure is defined as follows
struct cookie_io_functions_t { cookie_read_function_t *read; cookie_write_function_t *write; cookie_seek_function_t *seek; cookie_close_function_t *close; };The four fields are as follows:
- cookie_read_function_t *read
- This function implements read operations for the stream. When called, it receives three arguments:
ssize_t read(void *cookie, char *buf, size_t size);The buf and size arguments are, respectively, a buffer into which input data can be placed and the size of that buffer. As its function result, the read function should return the number of bytes copied into buf, 0 on end of file, or -1 on error. The read function should update the stream offset appropriately.
If *read is a NULL pointer, then reads from the custom stream always return end of file.
- cookie_write_function_t *write
- This function implements write operations for the stream. When called, it receives three arguments:
ssize_t write(void *cookie, const char *buf, size_t size);The buf and size arguments are, respectively, a buffer of data to be output to the stream and the size of that buffer. As its function result, the write function should return the number of bytes copied from buf, or -1 on error. The write function should update the stream offset appropriately.
If *write is a NULL pointer, then output to the stream is discarded.
- cookie_seek_function_t *seek
- This function implements seek operations on the stream. When called, it receives three arguments:
int seek(void *cookie, off64_t *offset, int whence);The *offset argument specifies the new file offset depending on which of the following three values is supplied in whence:
-
- SEEK_SET
- The stream offset should be set *offset bytes from the start of the stream.
- SEEK_CUR
- *offset should be added to the current stream offset.
- SEEK_END
- The stream offset should be set to the size of the stream plus *offset.
-
- Before returning, the seek function should update *offset to indicate the new stream offset.
As its function result, the seek function should return 0 on success, and -1 on error.
If *seek is a NULL pointer, then it is not possible to perform seek operations on the stream. - cookie_close_function_t *close
- This function closes the stream. The hook function can do things such as freeing buffers allocated for the stream. When called, it receives one argument:
int close(void *cookie);The cookie argument is the cookie that the programmer supplied when calling fopencookie().
As its function result, the close function should return 0 on success, and EOF on error.
If *close is NULL, then no special action is performed when the stream is closed.
RETURN VALUE
On success fopencookie() returns a pointer to the new stream. On error, NULL is returned.CONFORMING TO
This function is a nonstandard GNU extension.EXAMPLE
The program below implements a custom stream whose functionality is similar (but not identical) to that available via fmemopen(3). It implements a stream whose data is stored in a memory buffer. The program writes its command-line arguments to the stream, and then seeks through the stream reading two out of every five characters and writing them to standard output. The following shell session demonstrates the use of the program:$ ./a.out 'hello world' /he/ / w/ /d/ Reached end of fileNote that a more general version of the program below could be improved to more robustly handle various error situations (e.g., opening a stream with a cookie that already has an open stream; closing a stream that has already been closed).
