55.Sh DESCRIPTION
56The
57.Nm
58function
59associates a stream with up to four
60.Dq Tn I/O No functions .
61These
62.Tn I/O
63functions will be used to read, write, seek and
64close the new stream.
65.Pp
66In general, omitting a function means that any attempt to perform the
67associated operation on the resulting stream will fail.
68If the write function is omitted, data written to the stream is discarded.
69If the close function is omitted, closing the stream will flush
70any buffered output and then succeed.
71.Pp
72The calling conventions of
73.Fa read ,
74.Fa write ,
75and
76.Fa close
77must match those, respectively, of
78.Xr read 2 ,
79.Xr write 2 ,
80and
81.Xr close 2
82with the single exception that they are passed the
83.Fa cookie
84argument specified to
85.Nm
86in place of the traditional file descriptor argument.
87The
88.Fa seek
89function updates the current stream offset using
90.Fa *offset
91and
92.Fa whence .
93If
94.Fa *offset
95is non-NULL, it updates
96.Fa *offset
97with the current stream offset.
98.Pp
99.Nm
100is implemented as a thin shim around the
101.Xr funopen 3
102interface.
103Limitations, possibilities, and requirements of that interface apply to
104.Nm .
105.Sh RETURN VALUES
106Upon successful completion,
107.Nm
108returns a
109.Dv FILE
110pointer.
111Otherwise,
112.Dv NULL
113is returned and the global variable
114.Va errno
115is set to indicate the error.
116.Sh ERRORS
117.Bl -tag -width Er
118.It Bq Er EINVAL
119A bogus
120.Fa mode
121was provided to
122.Nm .
123.It Bq Er ENOMEM
124The
125.Nm
126function
127may fail and set
128.Va errno
129for any of the errors
130specified for the
131.Xr malloc 3
132routine.

141.Sh HISTORY
142The
143.Fn funopen
144functions first appeared in
145.Bx 4.4 .
146The
147.Nm
148function first appeared in
149.Fx 11 .
150.Sh BUGS
151The
152.Nm
153function is a nonstandard glibc extension and may not be portable to systems
154other than
155.Fx
156and Linux.
