freopen(3C) Standard C Library Functions freopen(3C)
NAME
freopen, freopen_s - open a new file for an existing stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
FILE *freopen(const char *restrict filename, const char *restrict mode,
FILE *restrict stream);
#define __STDC_WANT_LIB_EXT1__ 1
#include <stdio.h>
errno_t freopen_s(FILE *restrict *restrict newstreamptr,
const char *restrict filename, const char *restrict mode,
FILE *restrict stream);
DESCRIPTION
The freopen() function opens the file whose pathname is the string
pointed to by filename and associates the stream pointed to by stream
with it. The mode argument is used just as in fopen(3C).
The freopen() function first attempts to flush the stream and close any
file descriptor associated with stream. Failure to flush or close the
file successfully is ignored. The error and end-of-file indicators for
the stream are cleared.
If filename is a null pointer and the application conforms to SUSv3
(see standards(7)), the freopen() function attempts to change the mode
of the stream to that specified by mode, as though the name of the file
currently associated with the stream had been used. The following
changes of mode are permitted, depending upon the access mode of the
file descriptor underlying the stream:
o When + is specified, the file descriptor mode must be
O_RDWR.
o When r is specified, the file descriptor mode must be
O_RDONLY or O_RDWR.
o When a or w is specified, the file descriptor mode must be
O_WRONLY or O_RDWR.
If the filename is a null pointer and the application does not conform
to SUSv3, freopen() returns a null pointer.
The original stream is closed regardless of whether the subsequent open
succeeds.
After a successful call to the freopen() function, the orientation of
the stream is cleared, the encoding rule is cleared, and the associated
mbstate_t object is set to describe an initial conversion state.
The largest value that can be represented correctly in an object of
type off_t will be established as the offset maximum in the open file
description.
The freopen_s() function is part of the bounds checking interfaces
specified in the C11 standard, Annex K. It is similar to the freopen()
function with differing parameters and return type in order to provide
additional safety checks on the parameters passed before closing or
opening any files. See runtime_constraint_handler(3C) and IN‐
CITS/ISO/IEC 9899:2011.
Implementation-defined features of freopen_s() include the following:
o If filename is a null pointer, the changes of mode permitted
are the same as those for the freopen() function.
o A runtime-constraint violation will be generated if either
newstreamptr, mode, or stream is a null pointer.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, freopen() returns the value of stream. Oth‐
erwise, a null pointer is returned and errno is set to indicate the er‐
ror.
If freopen_s() successfully opens filename, zero is returned. Otherwise
if freopen_s() did not open filename or there was a runtime-constraint
violation, a non-zero value is returned.
ERRORS
The freopen() and freopen_s() functions will fail if:
EACCES Search permission is denied on a component of the path
prefix, or the file exists and the permissions speci‐
fied by mode are denied, or the file does not exist and
write permission is denied for the parent directory of
the file to be created.
EBADF The application conforms to SUSv3, the filename argu‐
ment is a null pointer, and either the underlying file
descriptor is not valid or the mode specified when the
underlying file descriptor was opened does not support
the file access modes requested by the mode argument.
EFAULT The application does not conform to SUSv3 and the file‐
name argument is a null pointer.
EINTR A signal was caught during freopen().
EISDIR The named file is a directory and mode requires write
access.
ELOOP Too many symbolic links were encountered in resolving
filename.
EMFILE There are {OPEN_MAX} file descriptors currently open in
the calling process.
ENAMETOOLONG The length of the filename exceeds {PATH_MAX} or a
pathname component is longer than {NAME_MAX}.
ENFILE The maximum allowable number of files is currently open
in the system.
ENOENT A component of filename does not name an existing file
or filename is an empty string.
ENOSPC The directory or file system that would contain the new
file cannot be expanded, the file does not exist, and
it was to be created.
ENOTDIR A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
ENXIO The named file is a character special or block special
file, and the device associated with this special file
does not exist.
EOVERFLOW The current value of the file position cannot be repre‐
sented correctly in an object of type off_t.
EROFS The named file resides on a read-only file system and
mode requires write access.
The freopen() function will fail if:
EINVAL The value of the mode argument is not valid.
ENAMETOOLONG Pathname resolution of a symbolic link produced an in‐
termediate result whose length exceeds {PATH_MAX}.
ENOMEM Insufficient storage space is available.
ENXIO A request was made of a non-existent device, or the re‐
quest was outside the capabilities of the device.
ETXTBSY The file is a pure procedure (shared text) file that is
being executed and mode requires write access.
The freopen_s() function will fail if:
EINVAL Null pointer is passed.
USAGE
The freopen() function is typically used to attach the preopened
streams associated with stdin, stdout and stderr to other files. By de‐
fault stderr is unbuffered, but the use of freopen() will cause it to
become buffered or line-buffered.
The freopen() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file
offsets. For more information, see the lf64(7) man page.

The freopen() function can be used safely in multithreaded applica‐
tions.
The freopen_s() function cannot be used safely in a multithreaded ap‐
plication due to the runtime constraint handler. For more information,
see the runtime_constraint_handler(3C) man page.

HISTORY
The freopen_s() function was added in Oracle Solaris 11.4.0.
The handling of a null filename in a SUSv3 conforming application was
added in Solaris 10 3/05.
The freopen() function has been included in all Sun and Oracle releases
of Solaris.
