clearerr
[clear file or stream error indicator]

SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void clearerr(FILE *fp);

DESCRIPTION
The stdio functions maintain an error indicator with each file pointer, fp, to record whether any read or write errors have occurred on the associated file or stream. Similarly, it maintains an end-of-file indicator to record whether there is no more data in the file. Use clearerr to reset both of these indicators. See ferror and feof to query the two indicators.

RETURNS
clearerr does not return a result.

COMPLIANCE
ANSI C requires clearerr.

No supporting OS subroutines are required.
