MERIDEN, Conn. (AP) — Unemployed and underemployed Connecticut construction workers are being trained to work on planned gas distribution and transmission pipeline construction projects.
It is part of a massive plan to expand natural gas service to about 280,000 new customers across the state over the next decade.
Earlier this year, the General Assembly and Gov. Dannel P. Malloy authorized state regulators to approve a new rate plan to finance the expansion program. A final ruling by the Public Utilities Regulatory Authority is expected to be issued on Nov. 21.
The International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 478, is holding a news conference and training demonstration on Tuesday at the union's training center in Meriden, where 24 workers are being trained. Malloy and other officials are expected to be on hand for the event.

Digi-Key. Each week, @digikey holds "Twrivia Thursdays" on Twitter, and a few weeks back they asked "What is the name of the recycled product we use for packaging?" I didn't realize this was a contest, but I had to answer immediately, because we know it as one of the best cat toys ever! Anyway, I'm thrilled to have gotten my box of misc (and it says "misc" on the invoice) because it came packed with– surprise– that same packing material, Geämi, which the cats are playing with even as I type. We posted the picture below, of JellyBean tangled in the stuff, a couple of years ago. But it deserves another viewing:

Key concepts
Centrifugal force
Circular motion
Have you ever wondered what keeps you in your seat when you're riding a giant loop-de-loop roller coaster? Surprisingly, it's not only the seat belt! You're kept in your seat because of something called centripetal force. Centripetal force actually does much more than make a ride on a roller coaster's loop possible—it keeps satellites in orbit and you in your bicycle when taking a turn!
In this activity, you will use marbles and Jell-O to investigate centripetal force and circular motion. Which way will the marbles go?
Isaac Newton, a careful observer of nature, used mathematics and science to describe natural phenomena that were not understood at the time. Newton's laws of motion are still used today, and these principles can be found in almost any moving technology. Newton discovered that for an object to move, it must be acted on by a force that makes it move in a certain direction. The object set in motion will continue this motion until it meets an opposite force. You have felt this phenomenon when riding in a car. When the car starts moving you rock backward because your body wants to stay in its stationary position. After you're moving, if the car suddenly stops you will rock forward because your body wants to keep moving at the same speed and direction.
Newton realized that when an object moves (or accelerates) in a circle, the object will move outward, away from the circle's center. For example, when you're riding in a car and it makes a turn, your body moves to the outside of the turn, away from the turn's direction. The force that makes you follow a circular path, even though your body wants to move away from the turn, is called centripetal force.
• Transparent plastic cups, at least four
• Scissors or one-hole puncher
• Duct tape or electrical tape
• String
• Cooking pot
• Measuring cup
• Stove
• Jell-O, two packages, each of a different color
• Refrigerator
• Marbles, at least three
• An open area outside
• Flashlight
• Use the scissors or one-hole puncher to make a small hole about 2.5 centimeters (one inch) from the top rim of one of the plastic cups. Make a second hole on the opposite side of the cup.
• Put a small piece of duct tape or electrical tape on the edge of the cup, just above each hole. Fold over the tape so it is on the outside and inside of the cup, but not blocking the holes. This will help prevent the string from detaching.
• Attach the string to the cup, tying one end of the string through one of the holes at the cup's top and the other end to the other hole.
• This cup will be your centripetal force generator. Test to make sure that the string is strongly attached to the cup by holding on to the string and pulling down on the cup.
• Ask an adult to help you make the Jell-O. Be careful when working with the boiling water. Also, be careful not to let the Jell-O spill and stain anything.
• Make one of the packets of Jell-O by dissolving it in the appropriate amount of water according to the directions on the package.
• Pour the Jell-O into the three other plastic cups, filling each cup halfway full.
• Place these cups in the refrigerator and chill until the Jell-O is completely set, about two to three hours.
• When the Jell-O is set, in each cup place a marble on the surface of the Jell-O in the center of the cup. Gently press it into the Jell-O just until the marble is secure and will not move around. Why do you think it is important that the Jell-O is firm enough to support the weight of the marble?
• Make the second batch of Jell-O. Why do you think the second batch should be a different color from the first?
• Slowly and carefully pour the hot Jell-O into the cups, covering the first layer of Jell-O and the marble until the cup is almost full, leaving about 2.5 centimeters at the top of the cup.
• Place the cups back in the refrigerator until the mixture is completely set, about two to three hours.
• When the Jell-O cups are set, put one of them into the centripetal force generator cup (the cup with a string tied to it) by stacking the cup with Jell-O inside the centripetal force generator cup.
• Take the stacked cups outside to an open area. (If the string on the centripetal force generator cup broke by accident, you would not want to get Jell-O all over the floors, walls and furniture!)
• Hold the string and twirl the stacked cups around your head for 20 revolutions, counting each time the cups make a complete circle. If you were to let go of the cups while spinning them, in what direction do you think they would go?
• After 20 revolutions, stop spinning and remove the inner cup from the outer cup.
• Shine a flashlight through the cup with the marble. Can you see the marble? Where is it? How has it moved?
• Tip: If you have trouble locating the marble, try backlighting the marble by shining the flashlight through the back of the cup, toward you.
• Tip: If the marble did not move, the Jell-O may be too firm. First try spinning it around for 20 revolutions again—but this time spin it harder. If the marble has still not moved, either let the cups sit out at room temperature overnight to soften the Jell-O or repeat this activity, this time using more water to make the Jell-O.
• One at a time, spin the other Jell-O cups in the centripetal force generator cup for 20 revolutions. Do you notice any patterns of movement? Did the marbles always move in the same direction? Did they move in the direction you thought they would? How far did they move?
• Extra: One of Newton's other laws says that there is a relationship between the motion of an object and its mass. Try a similar activity with small objects of different weights to see if this has an effect on the amount of movement an object makes due to centripetal force. Instead of marbles, try lead fishing weights, beans, quarters, beads, etcetera. Do you notice a difference in motion between objects of different weights or sizes?
• Extra: How fast did you swing your centripetal force generator? Is there a relationship between speed and circular motion? Try using a metronome to guide your speed of rotation, setting the metronome at fast and slow speeds. Do the cups move differently at faster speeds than they do at slower speeds?
· Extra: There are many ways to investigate Newtonian motion. Try taking some of your cups containing Jell-O and marbles with you for some on-site experimentation. What happens to the marble when you take it on a swing, slide, merry-go-round, roller coaster, car ride, bike ride or anywhere else you are curious to find out about?
Observations and results
In each cup, did the marble move from the middle of the cup to the bottom?
When an object moves, or accelerates, in a circle, the object wants to move out, away from the circle's center. Without the push of centripetal force, the object would move in a line, flying out and away from the center of the circle. For example, if you had let go of the cups when you were spinning them, they would fly away from you in a straight line. Each marble in the spinning cups also wanted to move away from you, away from the circle's center, and so each marble should have traveled through the Jell-O and ended up at the bottom of the cup.
In this activity, centripetal force acting on the system is supplied by the tension in the string. This force kept the cups moving in a circular path. This is a "pull" force, similar to how satellites are kept in orbit due to the pull of Earth's gravity. A "push" centripetal force acted on the marble: this force, supplied by the bottom of the cup, kept the marble going in a circular path and not flying away in a straight line. A push centripetal force also keeps you in your seat on a loop of a loop-de-loop roller-coaster ride and when you're making a turn on your bicycle.
Throw the Jell-O in the trash when you are done, after retrieving your marbles!

Waiting for Santa by Steve Metzger and Alison Edgson
There's a touch of gold for this beautiful Christmas story about having the courage of your convictions and enjoying the reassuring warmth of friendship.
The foiled cover of author Steve Metzger's captivating tale of a group of woodland animals hoping that Santa won't forget to deliver their Christmas presents is just one of the highlights of a picture book box of delights.

He sets his friends to work making reindeer snacks and decorating a huge tree to attract Santa's attention. 'We just have to believe!' Bear tells them. But will Santa really come?
Metzger puts belief, and plenty of surprises, into his Christmas celebration which springs to colourful life through the gorgeous woodland characters created by talented illustrator Alison Edgson.
Christmas can't come soon enough in this sweet and charming story…
(Little Tiger, paperback, £6.99)
Age 3-6
The Night Before Christmas Written by Clement C. Moore and illustrated by Mark Marshall
There's nothing like a traditional rhyme to evoke all the magic and nostalgia of Christmas.
In 1822, American scholar and poet Clement C. Moore wrote a poem for his children called A Visit from St Nicholas, later to become known as The Night Before Christmas. A friend submitted it to a local newspaper, The Troy Sentinel, where it was published on December 23, 1823, and is now a much-loved classic.
From the celebrated opening lines, 'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse,' to Santa's final 'good night' wish, illustrator Mark Marshall takes us on an enchanting picture book reimagining of Christmas past and present.
It's Christmas Eve and the whole house is sleeping… all except one little boy, woken up by the jingle of bells and the clatter of reindeer hooves on the roof. As he tiptoes downstairs, who will he find?
Mark Marshall's playful, bold and colourful illustrations, including a gorgeous glitter cover, bring to life Moore's bewitching verse about a visit from Santa Claus and his eight famous, flying reindeer as just one child, representing youngsters all over the world, discovers the magic of Christmas Eve.
The perfect gift and a true classic to treasure year after year…
(Little Tiger, paperback, £6.99)
Age one plus:

Christmas is coming and little bear Ted is so excited that he is just about ready to pop! 'Is it Christmas yet?' he cries. 'It is it Christmas yet?' Poor Ted, will it ever be Christmas… there are presents to wrap and a Christmas tree to find. Big Bear has his work cut out to keep little bear busy all day…
This exquisitely produced, chunky, padded board book edition of award-winning Jane Chapman's favourite Christmas story is full of the fun and spirit of loving and giving that is the hallmark of the Christian festival.

Carousel Park & Equestrian Center's Spring Country Festival drew about 6,000 people to the park on a sunny, Saturday afternoon to enjoy a visit with Peter Cottontail, a jellybean counting contest, hayrides, and a barn tour complete with baby ducks, chickens, goats, and a pregnant donkey.
New Castle County Executive Tom Gordon personally welcomed the crowd and recognized Councilwoman Janet Kilpatrick and Councilmen Tim Sheldon and Joe Reda, and Chief Administrative Officer David Grimaldi.
"I'd like to welcome you to your park, Carousel," County Executive Gordon said. "This really is the most beautiful park in the state. And we have a lot for you to do. Here at Carousel Park we are very proud to introduce the new 'Carousel Kids Corral' barn babies exhibit for children of all ages. This exhibit is open seven days a week."
In addition, Carousel Park features several turtles in Turtle Pond, and there is a Bark Park, which County Executive Gordon created in 1999. In addition, there are more than 200 acres of hiking trails.
Before introducing the Easter Bunny, County Executive Gordon urged the sizeable crowd to come back to Carousel regularly. Once he introduced Peter Cottontail, who came in a on a horsedrawn carriage, families lined up to get pictures with the Bunny.
Carousel is open seven days a week, from dusk to dawn.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The stage for the Democratic National Convention is an elaborate display of lights, carpeting and video screens. It's worthy of a Las Vegas show. In fact, unionized workers from Vegas were "imported" to build the stage, according to delegate Dick Collins, who hails from Sin City.
"Most of the trade unions are boycotting this, because it's held in a non-union town," Collins proudly said. It's also the least unionized state in the U.S. -- less than 3%, especially since state law forbids government workers from organizing.
North Carolina's right-to-work status has been a sore spot with unions. The building trades held their own political rally recently in Philadelphia. Local leaders quietly talked about not being motivated for the president and those down-ticket.
So into the discontent, AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka stepped Tuesday morning, meeting with several hundred labor leaders who are also delegates. He got a raucous welcome. The organization chose a hotel close to the Time-Warner Cable Arena. It didn't matter, since no hotels are unionized in Charlotte.
"And the labor movement may be small here, but I could tell you that it truly does punch above its own weight," Trumka said trying to mollify any holdover anger. He urged members to keep the greater goal in sight. "We have a chance to stand with leaders who champion working families."
Besides, he suggests, labor's presence might spark some movement on that front in North Carolina, and maybe the south in general.Collins, a retiree from labor organizing in Buffalo who moved to Vegas, breathes a heavy sigh when asked about such speculation. "I hope he's right. I hope he's right."
He'd rather be anywhere else. "Not only is it a non-union town; it's a staunch anti-union town, which makes it even worse."
Collins concluded, "They have so many ignorant people here that they don't understand the goodness of unions."
But Labor Day, the first Monday in September, is not just for unions. Mark Mix of the National Right to Work Committee issued a video statement marking the holiday as a pre-emptive strike on the Democrats' convention.
"Union officials are mounting a billion-dollar campaign to reelect President Barack Obama; and elect more pro-forced-unionism allies in Congress," Mix says into the camera.
He claimed, "The National Right to Work Committee is mobilizing its 2.6 million members to call on candidates to support greater workplace freedoms." They do politics, too.

Migration Policy Institute
Developing a Road Map for Engaging Diasporas in Development
Multimedia Tabs
William Lacy Swing, Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
Kathleen Newland, MPI Co-Founder and Director of the Refugee Policy and Migrants, Migration, and Development Programs
MPI and IOM jointly published a handbook that offers a strategic road map for governments to build a constructive relationship with diasporas and examines the success and failure of policies, programs, and initiatives undertaken to date. An increasing number of governments recognize the value that diaspora populations can bring to development efforts in their countries of origin, and the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) has, since its first meeting in 2007, looked for ways to highlight the kinds of policies and programs that can magnify the resources, both human and financial, that emigrants and their descendants contribute to development. To continue this effort, the governments of Netherlands and Switzerland commissioned IOM and MPI to develop the handbook within the framework of the Platform for Partnerships (PfP), a GFMD-sponsored tool to facilitate knowledge sharing. This discussion highlighted the best practices and experiences of different countries in engaging and maximizing the contributions that diasporas can and do make to the development of their country of origin, and more broadly the experience of policymakers in both sending and receiving countries and the related challenges and opportunities they face. Additional information about the handbook can also be found here.

High Power Laser Therapy in Hackensack, NJ
No one should have to live with constant pain. Chronic pain , joint pain and fibromyalgia can make your favorite activities and even everyday tasks seem impossible. Even if you've tried previous pain management techniques and medication without success, fighting your pain isn't hopeless. High Power Laser Therapy (HPLT) may be the breakthrough you need.
For more information about high power laser therapy, please call (201) 806-6099 or contact Medwell Orthopedics & Functional Medicine for Men & Women online.
How High Power Laser Therapy Works
Like the name implies, HPLT makes use of scientifically-advanced laser technology. Also called a healing laser or regenerative laser, HPLT uses targeted light to rejuvenate and charge your body's natural healing processes.
What makes high power laser therapy so effective is the laser itself. The laser is powerful enough to stimulate healing deep in your body, but gentle enough to be virtually pain free. This happens by targeting the mitochondria, which form the base of your cells' natural healing. By stimulating these cells and molecules, high power laser therapy "speeds up" healing without the use of invasive surgery. HPLT is also frequently used by chiropractors and podiatrists.
High Power Laser Therapy Treatments
Because it's so powerful and effective, HPLT can treat a wide variety of pain-related issues, from minor scrapes to major damage. Some of the issues high power laser therapy can treat or mitigate include:
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Nerve pain
- Arthritis
- Bunions
- Herniated discs
- Plantar fasciitis
- Sciatica
- Tendonitis
- Fibromyalgia
- Neuropathy
- Surgical pain
- Joint pain
- Back pain
- Chronic pain
High power laser therapy treats these issues by:
- Rejuvenating cell growth
- Improving nerve function
- Improving blood flow
- Reducing scar tissue
- Accelerating tissue repair
- Reducing inflammation
A typical HPLT appointment lasts under an hour, from start to stop. Most patients feel little to no pain and even find the experience to be slightly relaxing, especially the feeling of pain relief that comes not long after session is completed.
Start High Power Laser Therapy Now
Patients typically receive multiple HPLT sessions to target an issue. An average high power laser therapy treatment schedule is about six appointments, spread out over two to four weeks. Due to this schedule, it's ideal to get started right away. To set up a high power laser therapy consultation, please call (201) 806-6099 or contact Medwell Orthopedics & Functional Medicine for Men & Women online.

St. Christopher Necklace Small - aqua/navy
Protector of Travel
Medallions with St. Christopher's name and image are commonly worn as pendants, especially by travelers, to show devotion and as a request for his blessing. Miniature statues are frequently displayed in automobiles. In French a widespread phrase for such medals is "Regarde St Christophe et va-t-en rassuré" ("Look at St Christopher and go on reassured", sometimes translated as "Behold St Christopher and go your way in safety"); Saint Christopher medals and holy cards in Spanish have the phrase "Si en San Cristóbal confías, de accidente no morirás" ("If you trust St. Christopher, you won't die in an accident").

The reason Airplanes are banned from flying over Messi's house
Many people are unaware that planes are forbiden from flying over the area Barcelona captain, Lionel Messi's house is located and a new report has explained why.
Back in March 2018, Spanish airline, Vueling entered into an unplanned altercation with Football star Lionel Messi's fans when the airline's president Javier Sánchez-Prieto said in an interview that planes weren't allowed to fly over Messi's House in EL Prat Barcelona, and because of that, El Prat's airport wouldn't develop or expand.
Sánchez-Prieto was busy explaining why a plan to expand to Barcelona's El Prat airport was being held up and casually remarked; "You cannot pass over where Messi lives.""This doesn't happen anywhere else in the world."
The comments generated a lot of negative reaction on social media against the airline and the airline was forced to issue an apology to the footballer and anyone that might have been hurt by their president's remarks.
People on social media started questioning why Lionel Messi's mansion, located in El Prat, Barcelona was a no fly zone, and after a year and seven months, AS magazine has published a report explaining why airlines don't fly over Messi's house.
According to AS, Barcelona's airport is under environmental restrictions, and planes entering from El Prat into the Barcelona stadium have to take a different turn-around route to protect endangered fauna and flora species.
According to Spanish daily, AS;
'As might have been expected, the answer was rather more straightforward than Messi instructing El Prat not to interrupt his siesta.'
'The Barcelona captain lives in the municipality of Gavà, about 25km outside of Barcelona and inside the Parque Natural del Garraf, an area protected under Spanish environmental legislation and that contains endangered flora and fauna.'
'Therefore, planes arriving at and leaving El Prat have to make a small detour out into the Mediterranean to bypass the area, which also answers that question for anybody who has flown to Barcelona and wondered why that 180º turn is necessary.'

U.S. Rep. Charles Rangel, the face of Harlem politics for generations, held off a strong Democratic primary challenge and moved one step closer to what he says will be his 23rd and final term in the House.
Rangel, 84, defeated state Sen. Adriano Espaillat in what was a bruising fight that shed light on the changing face of a district that was once one of the nation's black political power bases.
With 100 percent of the vote counted in unofficial results, Rangel led Espaillat 47.4 percent to 43.6 percent, a difference of fewer than 2,000 votes. Nearly 47,800 votes had been counted. The Associated Press called Rangel the winner based on information Wednesday from the city Board of Elections on ballots cast that were not included in the election night tally. The number of absentee and provisional ballots was not sufficient for Espaillat to make up the difference.
"Fired up and ready to go!" the congressman declared in a statement thanking voters for "standing with me to the very end and giving this veteran his one last fight."
"I've got a lot of fight in me and will not let them down," said Rangel. He added that he hoped to begin healing the "division that was created during the course of the campaign."
The election pitted Rangel, the "Lion of Harlem" who has long personified the area's role in as a center of African-American political culture, against Espaillat, 59, a veteran state lawmaker seeking to become the first person born in the Dominican Republic to be elected to Congress.
Espaillat, who lost to Rangel in 2012 by about 1,000 votes in results that took two weeks to finalize, has not conceded, urging that every vote be counted. The official count won't start until July 2, when the absentee and provisional ballots are opened, and Espaillat's team has said it could mount a legal challenge. His campaign declined to comment Wednesday.
For his part, Rangel took to the stage Tuesday night for nearly an hour of what he termed "sweating it out" with supporters -- his own off-the-cuff remarks, homages from prominent supporters including former Mayor David Dinkins and even a moment of danger when the stage buckled under the weight of all those gathered on it. After ascertaining that no one was injured, Rangel kept on talking.
Finally, after a local TV station called the race, balloons dropped from the ceiling, and Rangel told supporters: "This was your victory."
Rangel was once arguably the nation's most influential black elected official, known for speaking out global issues -- he strongly opposed apartheid and the Iraq War -- but also for programs closer to home. He pushed to create a low-income tax credit that fueled the nation's largest affordable housing program, as well as a business empowerment zone that changed the economic face of Harlem.
But he was weakened after 2010 ethics violations that forced him to give up the chairmanship of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee, and his heavily Democratic district was then redrawn. The new lines, along with gentrification and demographic shifts in Harlem, created a district with a Hispanic majority in what was once a black stronghold.
The shifting racial terrain was a backdrop for the race, which grew nastier as primary day approached. At a debate, Rangel said Espaillat "wants to be the Jackie Robinson of the Dominicans in the Congress," adding that Espaillat should tell voters "just what the heck has he done besides saying he's a Dominican."
That remark drew a sharp retort from Espaillat and a chiding from Mayor Bill de Blasio, who managed Rangel's 1994 campaign yet refused to offer an endorsement this time. De Blasio said Wednesday he'd reserve judgment on the race until the official count was concluded, but he congratulated Rangel on "a strong performance."
While the election reflected a changing constituency, political experts say other realities played an important part in the outcome.
"Incumbency is a key factor," especially in a June primary that brought out less than 14 percent of the district's registered Democrats, said Jeanne Zaino, a political science professor at Iona College and New York University. But generational change may also have played a role, as some voters -- increasingly, younger than Rangel -- look for new leadership even if they respect his contributions, she said.
Still, Rangel has seen his district through enormous transitions, and he's had nearly half a century of experience persuading voters that he should be a constant even amid the change, Fordham University political scientist Christina Greer noted.
"He's weathered all of the storms, and people still come out to support him," she said.
Harlem pastor the Rev. Michael Walrond and Bronx activist Yolanda Garcia also ran, finishing far back.

Just curious. :)
Barnes and Noble is giving away free children's books from May 29th to September 2nd, 2007.
To qualify for the promotion, have your kids read any eight books and write down their favorite bits from each book on a journal provided by Barnes and Noble. You can exchange that journal for a free book coupon at any Barnes and Noble bookstore.
Here are the details:
1. Kids read any eight (8) books of their own choosing - library books, books borrowed from friends, or books bought at Barnes & Noble.2. Ask them to write about their favorite part of each book in the Summer Reading Journal. A parent or guardian must sign the journal after each entry.3. Bring the completed Summer Reading Journal to a Barnes & Noble bookstore between May 29th and September 2nd, 2007.
4. We'll give them a coupon for a FREE book! They can choose from a list of exceptional paperback titles.
Source: Barnes and Noble
This is a great gift for children's birthday parties. Instead of buying a toy for your ungrateful nephew, why not print out a journal and encourage him to earn a free book instead?
I just love this kind of win-win promotions. By giving away free books, Barnes and Noble is creating a new generation of customers and literate citizens. More importantly, the journal entries requirement will also get kids into the blogging mindset early. Yes folks, I like to recruit good bloggers no matter how young they are!

I am, for better or worse, the only child. Yes, the line dies with me if I don't start finding that special someone. Amazingly enough, women aren't very sympathetic when I use this as a selling point for going out with me. Sheesh.

FOPEN(3) BSD Programmer's Manual FOPEN(3)
fopen, fdopen, freopen - stream open functions
#include <stdio.h> FILE * fopen(const char *path, const char *mode); FILE * fdopen(int fildes, const char *mode); FILE * freopen(const char *path, const char *mode, FILE *stream);
The fopen() function opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by path and associates a stream with it. The argument mode points to a string beginning with one of the following sequences (additional characters may follow these sequences): "r" Open file for reading. "r+" Open for reading and writing. "w" Truncate file to zero length or create text file for writing. "w+" Open for reading and writing. The file is created if it does not exist, otherwise it is truncated. "a" Open for writing. The file is created if it does not exist. "a+" Open for reading and writing. The file is created if it does not exist. The mode string can also include the letter ``b'' either as a third char- acter or as a character between the characters in any of the two- character strings described above. This is strictly for compatibility with ANSI X3.159-1989 ("ANSI C89") and has no effect; the ``b'' is ig- nored. The fopen() and freopen() functions initially position the stream at the start of the file unless the file is opened in append mode, in which case the stream is initially positioned at the end of the file. Opening a file in append mode causes all subsequent writes to it to be forced to the current end-of-file, regardless of intervening reposition- ing of the stream. Any created files will have mode "S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR | S_IRGRP | S_IWGRP | S_IROTH | S_IWOTH" (0666), as modified by the process' umask value (see umask(2)). Reads and writes cannot be arbitrarily intermixed on read/write streams. ANSI C requires that a file positioning function intervene between output and input, unless an input operation encounters end-of-file. The fdopen() function associates a stream with the existing file descrip- tor fildes. The mode of the stream must be compatible with the mode of the file descriptor. The stream is positioned at the file offset of the file descriptor. If fdopen() fails, the file descriptor fildes is not af- fected in any way. The freopen() function opens the file whose name is the string pointed to by path and associates the stream pointed to by stream with it. The ori- ginal stream (if it exists) is always closed, even if freopen() fails. The mode argument is used just as in the fopen() function. The primary use of the freopen() function is to change the file associated with a standard text stream (stderr, stdin, or stdout).
Upon successful completion, fopen(), fdopen(), and freopen() return a FILE pointer. Otherwise, NULL is returned and the global variable errno is set to indicate the error.
[EINVAL] The mode provided to fopen(), fdopen(), or freopen() was invalid. The fopen(), fdopen() and freopen() functions may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routine malloc(3). The fopen() function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routine open(2). The fdopen() function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routine fcntl(2). The freopen() function may also fail and set errno for any of the errors specified for the routines open(2), fclose(3), and fflush(3).
open(2), fclose(3), fseek(3), funopen(3)
The fopen() and freopen() functions conform to ANSI X3.159-1989 ("ANSI C89"). The fdopen() function conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-1988 ("POSIX.1").
Proper code using fdopen() with error checking should close(2) fildes in case of failure, and fclose(3) the resulting FILE * in case of success. FILE *file; int fd; if ((file = fdopen(fd, "r")) != NULL) { /* perform operations on the FILE * */ fclose(file); } else { /* failure, report the error */ close(fd); } MirBSD #10-current June 4, 1993 1
