@ -9,32 +9,8 @@ File Objects
Python's built-in file objects are implemented entirely on the :ctype:`FILE\*`
support from the C standard library. This is an implementation detail and may
change in future releases of Python.
.. ctype:: PyFileObject
This subtype of :ctype:`PyObject` represents a Python file object.
.. cvar:: PyTypeObject PyFile_Type
.. index:: single: FileType (in module types)
This instance of :ctype:`PyTypeObject` represents the Python file type. This is
exposed to Python programs as ``file`` and ``types.FileType``.
.. cfunction:: int PyFile_Check(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyFileObject` or a subtype of
:ctype:`PyFileObject`.
.. cfunction:: int PyFile_CheckExact(PyObject *p)
Return true if its argument is a :ctype:`PyFileObject`, but not a subtype of
:ctype:`PyFileObject`.
change in future releases of Python. The ``PyFile_`` APIs are a wrapper over
the :mod:`io` module.

raised if the end of the file is reached immediately.
.. cfunction:: PyObject* PyFile_Name(PyObject *p)
Return the name of the file specified by *p* as a string object.
.. cfunction:: void PyFile_SetBufSize(PyFileObject *p, int n)
.. index:: single: setvbuf()
Available on systems with :cfunc:`setvbuf` only. This should only be called
immediately after file object creation.
.. cfunction:: int PyFile_SetEncoding(PyFileObject *p, const char *enc)
Set the file's encoding for Unicode output to *enc*. Return 1 on success and 0
on failure.
.. cfunction:: int PyFile_SoftSpace(PyObject *p, int newflag)
.. index:: single: softspace (file attribute)
This function exists for internal use by the interpreter. Set the
:attr:`softspace` attribute of *p* to *newflag* and return the previous value.
*p* does not have to be a file object for this function to work properly; any
object is supported (thought its only interesting if the :attr:`softspace`
attribute can be set). This function clears any errors, and will return ``0``
as the previous value if the attribute either does not exist or if there were
errors in retrieving it. There is no way to detect errors from this function,
but doing so should not be needed.
.. cfunction:: int PyFile_WriteObject(PyObject *obj, PyObject *p, int flags)
