头文件:#include <stdio.h>
函数原型:size_t fread(void *buffer, size_t size, size_t count, FILE *stream);
参数:
buffer:用于接收数据的内存地址;
size:表示要读的每个数据项的字节数,单位是字节;
count:要读count个数据项,每个数据项size个字节;
stream:输入流。
返回值:
如果调用成功返回实际读取到的项个数;
如果失败或读取到文件尾,返回0。
程序实例:
#include<stdio.h>
#include<string.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE*stream;
char msg[]="this is a test";
char buf[20];
if((stream=fopen("DUMMY.FIL","w+"))==NULL)
{
fprintf(stderr,"Can not open output file.\n");
return 0;
}
/*write some data to the file*/
fwrite(msg,1,strlen(msg)+1,stream);
/*sizeof(char)=1 seek to the beginning of the file*/
fseek(stream,0,SEEK_SET);
/*read the data and display it*/
fread(buf,1,strlen(msg)+1,stream);
printf("%s\n",buf);
fclose(stream);
return 0;
