  75. <p><strong>Description</strong><br>
  76. <code>fwrite</code> attempts to copy, starting from the memory location
  77. <var>buf</var>, <var>count</var> elements (each of size <var>size</var>) into the file or
  78. stream identified by <var>fp</var>. <code>fwrite</code> may copy fewer elements than
  79. <var>count</var> if an error intervenes.
  80. </p>
  81. <p><code>fwrite</code> also advances the file position indicator (if any) for
  82. <var>fp</var> by the number of <em>characters</em> actually written.
  83. </p>
  84. <p><code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is a non-thread-safe version of <code>fwrite</code>.
  85. <code>fwrite_unlocked</code> may only safely be used within a scope
  86. protected by flockfile() (or ftrylockfile()) and funlockfile(). This
  87. function may safely be used in a multi-threaded program if and only
  88. if they are called while the invoking thread owns the (FILE *)
  89. object, as is the case after a successful call to the flockfile() or
  90. ftrylockfile() functions. If threads are disabled, then
  91. <code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is equivalent to <code>fwrite</code>.
  92. </p>
  93. <p><code>_fwrite_r</code> and <code>_fwrite_unlocked_r</code> are simply reentrant versions of the
  94. above that take an additional reentrant structure argument: <var>ptr</var>.
  95. </p>
  96. <br>
  97. <p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
  98. If <code>fwrite</code> succeeds in writing all the elements you specify, the
  99. result is the same as the argument <var>count</var>. In any event, the
  100. result is the number of complete elements that <code>fwrite</code> copied to
  101. the file.
  102. </p>
  103. <br>
  104. <p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
  105. ANSI C requires <code>fwrite</code>.
  106. </p>
  107. <p><code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is a BSD extension also provided by GNU libc.
  108. </p>
  109. <p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
  110. <code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
