These functions allow to read and write files in a platform-independent way.
Function Documentation
__externcaca_file_t*caca_file_open(charconst*path,constchar*mode)
Create a caca file handle for a file. If the file is zipped, it is decompressed on the fly.
If an error occurs, NULL is returned and errno is set accordingly:
• ENOSTS Function not implemented.
• EINVAL File not found or permission denied.
Parameterspath The file path
mode The file open mode
Returns
A file handle to path.

__externintcaca_file_close(caca_file_t*fp)
Close and destroy the resources associated with a caca file handle.
This function is a wrapper for fclose() or, if available, gzclose().
Parametersfp The file handle
Returns
The return value of fclose() or gzclose().

__externuint64_tcaca_file_tell(caca_file_t*fp)
Return the file handle position, in bytes.
Parametersfp The file handle
Returns
The current offset in the file handle.
__externsize_tcaca_file_read(caca_file_t*fp,void*ptr,size_tsize)
Read data from a file handle and copy them into the given buffer.
Parametersfp The file handle
ptr The destination buffer
size The number of bytes to read
Returns
The number of bytes read
Referenced by caca_import_canvas_from_file().
__externsize_tcaca_file_write(caca_file_t*fp,constvoid*ptr,size_tsize)
Write the contents of the given buffer to the file handle.
Parametersfp The file handle
ptr The source buffer
size The number of bytes to write
Returns
The number of bytes written
__externchar*caca_file_gets(caca_file_t*fp,char*s,intsize)
Read one line of data from a file handle, up to one less than the given number of bytes. A trailing zero
is appended to the data.
Parametersfp The file handle
s The destination buffer
size The maximum number of bytes to read
Returns
The number of bytes read, including the trailing zero
__externintcaca_file_eof(caca_file_t*fp)
Return the end-of-file status of the file handle.
This function is a wrapper for feof() or, if available, gzeof().
Parametersfp The file handle
Returns
1 if EOF was reached, 0 otherwise
