Simplified C standard IO

Posted by Guy Lecky-Thompson Jul 7, 2006

For those C programmers still a little daunted by the prospect of using the full power of the stdio.h library, I've broken it down into it's self-similar parts. That way you only have to deal with one set of things to remember.

The wonderful thing about C is that it tends to treat streams in the same way. So a call to, for example, printf, sprintf or fprintf look largely the same.

There are a few caveats, and traps for the unwary, but on the whole you need to remember far less than you might at first think. Of course, there are also some really powerful functions that can be applied too; but the stdio.h tutorial presented here is a great place to start. Have fun!
