isfdtype3
Test file type of a file descriptor
Usage
#include <sys/stat.h> #include <sys/socket.h>
int isfdtype(int fd, int fdtype);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
isfdtype():
Since glibc 2.20:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
Before glibc 2.20:
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
Library
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
Overview
The isfdtype() function tests whether the file descriptor fd refers to a file of type fdtype. The fdtype argument specifies one of the S_IF* constants defined in <sys/stat.h> and documented in stat(2) (e.g., S_IFREG).
Return value
The isfdtype() function returns 1 if the file descriptor fd is of type fdtype and 0 if it is not. On failure, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
Errors
The isfdtype() function can fail with any of the same errors as fstat(2).
Versions
Portable applications should use fstat(2) instead.
