LIBTSTDIO(3) LAM LIBRARY FUNCTIONS LIBTSTDIO(3)NAME
libtstdio.a - flexible LAM standard I/O package
SYNOPSIS
#include <tstdio.h>
TFILE *tstdin;
TFILE *tstdout;
TFILE *tstderr;
DESCRIPTION
The LAM libtstdio.a library of C functions provides networked (remote)
services equivalent to those of the stdio(3) functions. The tstdio
library allows the user to designate the target node to/from which out‐
put/input is directed. The tstdio functions have the same names and
interfaces as their counterpart in stdio(3), except that the names are
prefixed with the letter 't' (tprintf(), tfopen(), tfclose(), etc.).
This allows them to coexist with the stdio(3V) functions, giving the
user the choice to bypass the LAM I/O functions and access the I/O of
the native system.
Files opened using fopen(3), fdopen(3), or freopen(3) are treated as
local to the node of the calling process. To open files on the origin
node, from any LAM node, include a 'T' in the type field of the open
call. For example:
#include <tstdio.h>
tfopen("/tmp/input", "rT");
By default, functions using tstdout or tstderr direct the streams to
the LAM origin node (see getorigin(2)) where the user is assumed to be
logged in.
