Passing a stream?

[bhdavis1978]

Hey all,

I was wondering if it's possible to pass a stream to a function?

e.g.

void print_stuff(int i, STREAM s)
{
sprintf(s, "%d", i);
}

This is because I've got a function that I'd like to be able to use to print to the screen sometimes, and some other times to a different stream. I know I can just make a separate function for it, but it seems like this would be handy to do.

Yes, you can pass a stream pointer.

The datatype is FILE*; stdin, stdout, and stderr are all predefined FILE (stream) pointers.

Pass a pointer to FILE.
