NAME

 fmemopen, open_memstream, open_wmemstream -  open memory as stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       FILE *fmemopen(void *buf, size_t size, const char *mode);

       FILE *open_memstream(char **ptr, size_t *sizeloc);

       #include <wchar.h>

       FILE *open_wmemstream(wchar_t **ptr, size_t *sizeloc);

       fmemopen(), open_memstream(), open_wmemstream():
           Since glibc 2.10:
               _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L
           Before glibc 2.10:
               _GNU_SOURCE

 RETURN VALUE         

       Upon successful completion fmemopen(), open_memstream() and open_wmemstream()
       return a FILE pointer.  Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set to
       indicate the error.

VERSIONS        

       fmemopen() and open_memstream() were already available in glibc 1.0.x.
       open_wmemstream() is available since glibc 2.4.
