Thread: Get Down/Upstream

It is simple enough to maintain a counter, just read binary data of a certain size into a buffer and increment your counter for every completed read. If the read is not completed, divide what you got by the size of the buffer and add that piece to the total:

Code:

while ( ( len = fread ( buffer, 1, sizeof buffer, in ) ) != 0 ) {
  if ( len < sizeof buffer )
    count += (double)len / sizeof buffer;
  else
    count++;
}

preluse wheres ur old avatar, i liked it! the ball is gay. the anime gurl wasnt

I don't even understand prelude's code. What is fread? is that a function specific for internet or...?

fread ( buffer, 1, sizeof buffer, in );

what are the parameters supposed to be? I mean what do they do? What is the type of the last one? I've seen some functions that take characters for input such as system("cls"). Is that what the in is sorta like??

[edit]
size_z fread(void *, size_t, size_t, FILE*)
/[edit]

uhh so it returns a size_t which is a buffer? what is the first parameter? a pointer to void? silly. and then the last one is the directory or something that you want something saved? hmm

instead of saying "eff-read" say it "freeed" its funny *giggle*

>What is fread?
fread is a function used for binary input, it takes the address of a buffer to write to, the number of items to read for that call, the size of each item to be read, and an input stream to read from. It returns the number of bytes read. You can think of it as the fgets for binary data.

i never liked the anime avatar, but the ball is cool
