Talk:Stdio.h

message: I don't believe C/C++ reference pages belong to wikipedia, wikibooks may benefit from it however (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:C_contents).
:Please sign your name with  four tildes (~~~~) . I disagree, wikipedia is very often used as an almanac (which contains lists of information). Wikipedia is not used for text-book walkthrough-type teaching, but rather is used to concisely reference information on a topic - which is what this page is about.

thread_title:  stdio.h in an encyclopedia ?? 

message: A list of stdio functions, some of which are not included in the article. This list is taken from Wikiproject C++. The difference should probably be verified and rectified.Gsonnenf (talk) 11:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Some useful info from the wikiproject

message: stdio.h is the name of the header file; from at least the days of Version 7 Unix, and possibly as far back as when it was an add-on to Version 6 Unix, I've heard the library referred to as the "standard I/O library", not as "stdio.h". Guy Harris 02:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The file's name might not change, but is this article about the header file, or is it about the routines declared and macros defined in that header file? Guy Harris 08:33, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

text: Perhaps "stdio.h" is used everywhere, while "Standard I/O Library" is used only in English - but is "stdio.h" used to refer to the library routines in question everywhere, or are those routines referred to as, for example, the C Standard-Bibliothek in German?

replies: text: I've no idea... but this article is written from the "stdio.h" angle, so I don't think the article refers to anything else. The question's just whether "stdio.h" is the best name for this article. --Deryck C. 12:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, no, it wasn't written from the "stdio.h" angle; it sometimes correctly referred to "stdio.h" as a header, and other times incorrectly referred to it as a library.  I've fixed it to consistently speak of it as a header; modern C environments have a library that includes the functions that were in the old Version 6 Unix "standard I/O library" (it was an add-on that came out after V6) and other functions as well, e.g. "libc"/"libSystem"/etc. on various Un*xes, so there's no library that could be called "stdio.h", and the file "stdio.h" is a header, not a library, in any case.

thread_title: "stdio.h", or "Standard I/O library"?

message: Functions like fileno(), ctermid() and popen() are not Standard C functions and as such have no place in this article. Also, some functions like system() are in the wrong article. There could, however, be an appropriate place for those somewhere else. I shall remove them from the article and if anyone feels I shouldn't have done so, feel free to revert it and post why have you done it here, so we can have a debate.

message: probally there is more types but I didn't learn yet
int, float, double, char, void
