_set_fmode

Sets the default file translation mode for file I/O operations.

errno_t _set_fmode( 
   int mode 
);

Parameters

  • [in] mode
    The file translation mode desired: _O_TEXT or _O_BINARY.

Return Value

Returns zero if successful, an error code on failure. If mode is not _O_TEXT or _O_BINARY or _O_WTEXT, the invalid parameter handler is invoked, as described in Parameter Validation. If execution is allowed to continue, this function sets errno to EINVAL and returns EINVAL.

Remarks

The function sets the _fmode global variable. This variable specifies the default file translation mode for the file I/O operations _open and _pipe.

_O_TEXT and _O_BINARY are defined in Fcntl.h. EINVAL is defined in Errno.h.
