22 * fmemopen() - "my" version of a string stream
23 * Hanno Mueller, kontakt@hanno.de
26 * I needed fmemopen() for an application that I currently work on,
27 * but couldn't find it in libio. The following snippet of code is an
28 * attempt to implement what glibc's documentation describes.
30 * No, it isn't really tested yet. :-)
34 * I already see some potential problems:
36 * - I never used the "original" fmemopen(). I am sure that "my"
37 * fmemopen() behaves differently than the original version.
39 * - The documentation doesn't say wether a string stream allows
40 * seeks. I checked the old fmemopen implementation in glibc's stdio
41 * directory, wasn't quite able to see what is going on in that
42 * source, but as far as I understand there was no seek there. For
43 * my application, I needed fseek() and ftell(), so it's here.
45 * - "append" mode and fseek(p, SEEK_END) have two different ideas
46 * about the "end" of the stream.
48 * As described in the documentation, when opening the file in
49 * "append" mode, the position pointer will be set to the first null
50 * character of the string buffer (yet the buffer may already
51 * contain more data). For fseek(), the last byte of the buffer is
52 * used as the end of the stream.
54 * - It is unclear to me what the documentation tries to say when it
55 * explains what happens when you use fmemopen with a NULL
58 * Quote: "fmemopen [then] allocates an array SIZE bytes long. This
59 * is really only useful if you are going to write things to the
60 * buffer and then read them back in again."
62 * What does that mean if the original fmemopen() did not allow
63 * seeking? How do you read what you just wrote without seeking back
64 * to the beginning of the stream?
66 * - I think there should be a second version of fmemopen() that does
67 * not add null characters for each write. (At least in my
68 * application, I am not actually using strings but binary data and
69 * so I don't need the stream to add null characters on its own.)
