Description

       The  function  fileno()  examines  the  argument  stream  and returns the integer file descriptor used to
       implement this stream.  The file descriptor is still owned by stream and will be closed when fclose(3) is
       called.  Duplicate the file descriptor with dup(2) before passing it to code that might close it.

       For the nonlocking counterpart, see unlocked_stdio(3).

Errors

EBADFstream is not associated with a file.

History

       POSIX.1-2001.

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Name

       fileno - obtain file descriptor of a stdio stream

Return Value

       On success, fileno() returns the file descriptor associated with stream.  On failure, -1 is returned  and
       errno is set to indicate the error.
