ANSI C中关于FILE流的一些

ANSI C只是一个定义，定义了一个借口与标准，具体实现将是不同的。

刚看到I/O的时候就对于Stream非常的迷惑，这是什么玩意。后面才明白，这只是一个抽象出来的概念而已。对于一个Stream，它具有一切我们操控一个文件所需要的所有信息，我们只需要操控流，其他事情就交给内核或操作系统去完成就OK了。

在Linux中，对于FILE结构有完整的定义，位于/usr/include/libio.h 下

struct _IO_FILE {

  int _flags;           /* High-order word is _IO_MAGIC; rest is flags. */

#define _IO_file_flags _flags

  /* The following pointers correspond to the C++ streambuf protocol. */

  /* Note:  Tk uses the _IO_read_ptr and _IO_read_end fields directly. */

  char* _IO_read_ptr;   /* Current read pointer */

  char* _IO_read_end;   /* End of get area. */

  char* _IO_read_base;  /* Start of putback+get area. */

  char* _IO_write_base; /* Start of put area. */

  char* _IO_write_ptr;  /* Current put pointer. */

  char* _IO_write_end;  /* End of put area. */

  char* _IO_buf_base;   /* Start of reserve area. */

  char* _IO_buf_end;    /* End of reserve area. */

  /* The following fields are used to support backing up and undo. */

  char *_IO_save_base; /* Pointer to start of non-current get area. */

  char *_IO_backup_base;  /* Pointer to first valid character of backup area */

  char *_IO_save_end; /* Pointer to end of non-current get area. */

  struct _IO_marker *_markers;

  struct _IO_FILE *_chain;

  int _fileno;

#if 0

  int _blksize;

#else

  int _flags2;

#endif

  _IO_off_t _old_offset; /* This used to be _offset but it's too small.  */

#define __HAVE_COLUMN /* temporary */

  /* 1+column number of pbase(); 0 is unknown. */

  unsigned short _cur_column;

  signed char _vtable_offset;

  char _shortbuf[1];

  /*  char* _save_gptr;  char* _save_egptr; */

  _IO_lock_t *_lock;

#ifdef _IO_USE_OLD_IO_FILE

};

　　看了这才完整的明白 －这个流是什么东西。
