NAME         top

       fprocopen - stream open functions on files below /proc/##

SYNOPSIS         top

       #define _GNU_SOURCE
       #include <stdio.h>
       #include <proc/procio.h>

       FILE *fprocopen(const char *path, const char *mode);

DESCRIPTION         top

       The fprocopen function opens files below /proc/## whose name is
       the string to by path and associates a stream with it.  The
       argument mode points to a string containing one of the following
       sequences

       r      Open a file below /proc/## for reading even large buffers.
              The stream is positioned at the beginning of the file.

       w[<del>]
              Open a file below /proc/## for writing even large buffers.
              The optional delimiter character can be one of the
              follwoing ' ', ',', '.', and ':' where the default is the
              comma ','.  This allows to split very large input lines
              into pieces at this delimiter and write each of them to
              the opened file below /proc/##.

       e      The underlying file descriptor will be closed if you use
              any of the `exec...' functions within your code.

       The internal API allows the use of stdio functions to read and
       write large buffers below /proc/##.
