Controls stream buffering and buffer size.

int setvbuf(
   FILE *stream,
   char *buffer,
   int mode,
   size_t size 
);

Параметры

stream
Pointer to FILE structure.
buffer
User-allocated buffer.
mode
Mode of buffering.
size
Buffer size in bytes. Allowable range: 2 <= size <= INT_MAX (2147483647). Internally, the value supplied for size is rounded down to the nearest multiple of 2.

Возвращаемое значение

Returns 0 if successful.

If stream or buffer are a NULL pointer, or if mode or size is not within a valid change, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function returns -1 and sets errno to EINVAL.

For information on these and other error codes, see _doserrno, errno, _sys_errlist, and _sys_nerr.

Заметки

The setvbuf function allows the program to control both buffering and buffer size for stream. stream must refer to an open file that has not undergone an I/O operation since it was opened. The array pointed to by buffer is used as the buffer, unless it is NULL, in which case setvbuf uses an automatically allocated buffer of length size/2 * 2 bytes.

The mode must be _IOFBF, _IOLBF, or _IONBF. If mode is _IOFBF or _IOLBF, then size is used as the size of the buffer. If mode is _IONBF, the stream is unbuffered and size and buffer are ignored. Values for mode and their meanings are:

_IOFBF
Full buffering; that is, buffer is used as the buffer and size is used as the size of the buffer. If buffer is NULL, an automatically allocated buffer size bytes long is used.
_IOLBF
For some systems, this provides line buffering. However, for Win32, the behavior is the same as _IOFBF - Full Buffering.
_IONBF
No buffer is used, regardless of buffer or size.

Пример

// crt_setvbuf.c
// This program opens two streams: stream1
// and stream2. It then uses setvbuf to give stream1 a
// user-defined buffer of 1024 bytes and stream2 no buffer.
//

#include <stdio.h>

int main( void )
{
   char buf[1024];
   FILE *stream1, *stream2;

   if( fopen_s( &stream1, "data1", "a" ) == 0 &&
       fopen_s( &stream2, "data2", "w" ) == 0 )
   {
      if( setvbuf( stream1, buf, _IOFBF, sizeof( buf ) ) != 0 )
         printf( "Incorrect type or size of buffer for stream1\n" );
      else
         printf( "'stream1' now has a buffer of 1024 bytes\n" );
      if( setvbuf( stream2, NULL, _IONBF, 0 ) != 0 )
         printf( "Incorrect type or size of buffer for stream2\n" );
      else
         printf( "'stream2' now has no buffer\n" );
      _fcloseall();
   }
}

'stream1' now has a buffer of 1024 bytes
'stream2' now has no buffer
