std::fread
Defined in header <cstdio>
|
||
std::size_t fread( void* buffer, std::size_t size, std::size_t count, std::FILE* stream ); |
||
Reads up to count
objects into the array buffer
from the given input stream stream
as if by calling std::fgetc size
times for each object, and storing the results, in the order obtained, into the successive positions of buffer
, which is reinterpreted as an array of unsigned char. The file position indicator for the stream is advanced by the number of characters read.
If the objects are not TriviallyCopyable, the behavior is undefined.
If an error occurs, the resulting value of the file position indicator for the stream is indeterminate. If a partial element is read, its value is indeterminate.
Parameters
buffer | - | pointer to the first object in the array to be read |
size | - | size of each object in bytes |
count | - | the number of the objects to be read |
stream | - | input file stream to read from |
Return value
Number of objects read successfully, which may be less than count
if an error or end-of-file condition occurs.
If size
or count
is zero, fread
returns zero and performs no other action.
Example
#include <iostream> #include <cstdio> #include <fstream> #include <vector> int main() { // prepare file std::ofstream("test.txt") << 1 << ' ' << 2 << '\n'; std::FILE* f = std::fopen("test.txt", "r"); std::vector<char> buf(4); // char is trivally copyable std::fread(&buf[0], sizeof buf[0], buf.size(), f); for(char n : buf) std::cout << n; std::vector<std::string> buf2; // string is not trivially copyable // this would result in undefined behavior // std::fread(&buf2[0], sizeof buf2[0], buf2.size(), f); }
Output:
1 2
