NAME
filecopy, ffilecopy - copy an open file
SYNOPSIS
int filecopy (here,there);
int here,there;
#include <stdio.h>
int ffilecopy (here,there);
FILE *here,*there;
DESCRIPTION
Filecopy
copies the open input file
here
to the open output file
there.
The input data from the current file pointer of
here
until EOF are appended after the current file pointer of
there.
Ffilecopy
copies the open buffered input file
here
to the open buffered output file
there.
The input data from the current file pointer of
here
until EOF are appended after the current file pointer
of
there.
The data currently in both buffers is correctly handled, and
both buffers are left in an appropriate state.
After
ffilecopy,
feof(here)
will be true.
These routines are probably faster than you would care to code
for yourself, although they are quite simple.
DIAGNOSTICS
Filecopy
and
ffilecopy
return 0 normally, -1 on error.
If an error occurs, the file
copying operation may be incomplete.
