+.Sh NAME
+.Nm funopen ,
+.Nm fropen ,
+.Nm fwopen
+.Nd open a stream
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Fd #include <stdio.h>
+.Ft FILE *
+.Fn funopen "void *cookie" "int (*readfn)(void *, char *, int)" "int (writefn*)(void *, const char *, int)" "fpos_t (seekfn*)(void *, fpos_t, int)" "int (closefn*)(void *)"
+.Ft FILE *
+.Fn fropen "void *cookie" "int (*readfn)(void *, char *, int)"
+.Ft FILE *
+.Fn fwopen "void *cookie" "int (*writefn)(void *, char *, int)"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn funopen
+function
+associates a stream with up to four
+.Dq Tn I/O No functions .
+Either
+.Fa readfn
+or
+.Fa writefn
+must be specified;
+the others can be given as an appropriately-typed
+.Dv NULL
+pointer.
+These
+.Tn I/O
+functions will be used to read, write, seek and
+close the new stream.
+.Pp
+In general, omitting a function means that any attempt to perform the
+associated operation on the resulting stream will fail.
+If the close function is omitted, closing the stream will flush
+any buffered output and then succeed.
+.Pp
+The calling conventions of
+.Fa readfn ,
+.Fa writefn ,
+.Fa seekfn
+and
+.Fa closefn
+must match those, respectively, of
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2 ,
+.Xr seek 2 ,
+and
+.Xr close 2
+with the single exception that they are passed the
+.Fa cookie
+argument specified to
+.Fn funopen
+in place of the traditional file descriptor argument.
+.Pp
+Read and write
+.Tn I/O
+functions are allowed to change the underlying buffer
+on fully buffered or line buffered streams by calling
+.Xr setvbuf 3 .
+They are also not required to completely fill or empty the buffer.
+They are not, however, allowed to change streams from unbuffered to buffered
+or to change the state of the line buffering flag.
+They must also be prepared to have read or write calls occur on buffers other
+than the one most recently specified.
+.Pp
+All user
+.Tn I/O
+functions can report an error by returning \-1.
+Additionally, all of the functions should set the external variable
+.Va errno
+appropriately if an error occurs.
+.Pp
+An error on
+.Fn closefn
+does not keep the stream open.
+.Pp
+As a convenience, the include file
+.Aq Pa stdio.h
+defines the macros
+.Fn fropen
+and
+.Fn fwopen
+as calls to
+.Fn funopen
+with only a read or write function specified.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn funopen
+returns a
+.Dv FILE
+pointer.
+Otherwise,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width [EINVAL]
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fn funopen
+function
+was called without either a read or write function.
+The
+.Fn funopen
+function
+may also fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors
+specified for the routine
+.Xr malloc 3 .
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr fcntl 2 ,
+.Xr open 2 ,
+.Xr fclose 3 ,
+.Xr fopen 3 ,
+.Xr fseek 3 ,
+.Xr setbuf 3
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn funopen
+functions first appeared in 4.4BSD.
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Fn funopen
+function
+may not be portable to systems other than
+.Bx .
