Parameters

ptr

Where to store the binary data read.

size

The size of each object to read.

nmemb

The number of objects to read.

stream

The binary FILE stream to read from.

Returns

The function fread() advances the file position indicator for the stream by the number of bytes read. It returns the number of objects read or written. If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached, the return value is a short object count (or zero).

The function fread() does not distinguish between end-of-file and error, and callers must use Stdlib.feof(3) and Stdlib.ferror(3) to determine which occurred.

Remarks

The function fread() reads nmemb objects, each size bytes long, from the stream pointed to by stream, storing them at the location given by ptr.
