 12 Input/Output on Streams
 **************************
 
 This chapter describes the functions for creating streams and performing
 input and output operations on them.  As discussed in  I/O
 Overview, a stream is a fairly abstract, high-level concept
 representing a communications channel to a file, device, or process.

 
* Streams                     About the data type representing a stream.
* Standard Streams            Streams to the standard input and output
                                  devices are created for you.
* Opening Streams             How to create a stream to talk to a file.
* Closing Streams             Close a stream when you are finished with it.
* Streams and Threads         Issues with streams in threaded programs.
* Streams and I18N            Streams in internationalized applications.
* Simple Output               Unformatted output by characters and lines.
* Character Input             Unformatted input by characters and words.
* Line Input                  Reading a line or a record from a stream.
* Unreading                   Peeking ahead/pushing back input just read.
* Block Input/Output          Input and output operations on blocks of data.
* Formatted Output            `printf' and related functions.
* Customizing Printf          You can define new conversion specifiers for
                                  `printf' and friends.
* Formatted Input             `scanf' and related functions.
* EOF and Errors              How you can tell if an I/O error happens.
* Error Recovery              What you can do about errors.
* Binary Streams              Some systems distinguish between text files
                                  and binary files.
* File Positioning            About random-access streams.
* Portable Positioning        Random access on peculiar ISO C systems.
* Stream Buffering            How to control buffering of streams.
* Other Kinds of Streams      Streams that do not necessarily correspond
                                  to an open file.
* Formatted Messages          Print strictly formatted messages.
