Detailed Description

These functions allow to read and write files in a platform-independent way.  

Function Documentation

 

__extern caca_file_t* caca_file_open (char const * path, const char * mode)

Create a caca file handle for a file. If the file is zipped, it is decompressed on the fly.

If an error occurs, NULL is returned and errno is set accordingly:

•

ENOSTS Function not implemented.

•

EINVAL File not found or permission denied.

Parameters:

path The file path
mode The file open mode

Returns:

A file handle to path.

Referenced by caca_file_eof(), caca_flush_figlet(), and caca_import_canvas_from_file().  

__extern int caca_file_close (caca_file_t * fp)

Close and destroy the resources associated with a caca file handle.

This function is a wrapper for fclose() or, if available, gzclose().

Parameters:

fp The file handle

Returns:

The return value of fclose() or gzclose().

Referenced by caca_file_eof(), caca_flush_figlet(), and caca_import_canvas_from_file().  

__extern uint64_t caca_file_tell (caca_file_t * fp)

Return the file handle position, in bytes.

Parameters:

fp The file handle

Returns:

The current offset in the file handle.

Referenced by caca_file_eof().  

__extern size_t caca_file_read (caca_file_t * fp, void * ptr, size_t size)

Read data from a file handle and copy them into the given buffer.

Parameters:

fp The file handle
ptr The destination buffer
size The number of bytes to read

Returns:

The number of bytes read

Referenced by caca_file_eof(), and caca_import_canvas_from_file().  

__extern size_t caca_file_write (caca_file_t * fp, const void * ptr, size_t size)

Write the contents of the given buffer to the file handle.

Parameters:

fp The file handle
ptr The source buffer
size The number of bytes to write

Returns:

The number of bytes written

Referenced by caca_file_eof().  

__extern char* caca_file_gets (caca_file_t * fp, char * s, int size)

Read one line of data from a file handle, up to one less than the given number of bytes. A trailing zero is appended to the data.

Parameters:

fp The file handle
s The destination buffer
size The maximum number of bytes to read

Returns:

The number of bytes read, including the trailing zero

Referenced by caca_file_eof(), and caca_flush_figlet().  

__extern int caca_file_eof (caca_file_t * fp)

Return the end-of-file status of the file handle.

This function is a wrapper for feof() or, if available, gzeof().

Parameters:

fp The file handle

Returns:

1 if EOF was reached, 0 otherwise
