<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
<code>fwrite</code> attempts to copy, starting from the memory location
<var>buf</var>, <var>count</var> elements (each of size <var>size</var>) into the file or
stream identified by <var>fp</var>.  <code>fwrite</code> may copy fewer elements than
<var>count</var> if an error intervenes.
</p>
<p><code>fwrite</code> also advances the file position indicator (if any) for
<var>fp</var> by the number of <em>characters</em> actually written.
</p>
<p><code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is a non-thread-safe version of <code>fwrite</code>.
<code>fwrite_unlocked</code> may only safely be used within a scope
protected by flockfile() (or ftrylockfile()) and funlockfile().  This
function may safely be used in a multi-threaded program if and only
if they are called while the invoking thread owns the (FILE *)
object, as is the case after a successful call to the flockfile() or
ftrylockfile() functions.  If threads are disabled, then
<code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is equivalent to <code>fwrite</code>.
</p>
<p><code>_fwrite_r</code> and <code>_fwrite_unlocked_r</code> are simply reentrant versions of the
above that take an additional reentrant structure argument: <var>ptr</var>.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
If <code>fwrite</code> succeeds in writing all the elements you specify, the
result is the same as the argument <var>count</var>.  In any event, the
result is the number of complete elements that <code>fwrite</code> copied to
the file.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
ANSI C requires <code>fwrite</code>.
</p>
<p><code>fwrite_unlocked</code> is a BSD extension also provided by GNU libc.
</p>
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
