+.Sh NAME
+.Nm fmemopen
+.Nd open a stream that points to the given buffer
+.Sh LIBRARY
+.Lb libc
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.In stdio.h
+.Ft FILE *
+.Fn fmemopen "void *restrict buffer" "size_t size" "const char *restrict mode"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Fn fmemopen
+function
+associates a stream with the given
+.Fa buffer
+and
+.Fa size .
+The
+.Fa buffer
+can be either
+.Dv NULL ,
+or must be of the given
+.Fa size .
+If the
+.Fa buffer
+is
+.Dv NULL ,
+a
+.Fa buffer
+of the given
+.Fa size
+will be dynamically allocated using
+.Xr malloc 3
+and freed when
+.Xr fclose 3
+is called.
+.Pp
+The
+.Fa mode
+argument has the same meaning as in
+.Xr fopen 3 .
+.Pp
+The stream treats the buffer as it would treat a file tracking the current
+position to perform I/O operations.
+For example, in the beginning the stream points to the beginning of the buffer,
+unless
+.Dv a
+was specified in the
+.Fa mode
+argument, and then it points to the first
+.Dv NUL
+byte.
+If a
+.Dv NULL
+.Fa buffer
+was specified, then the stream will always point at the first byte of the
+.Fa buffer .
+.Pp
+The stream also keeps track of the
+.Fa size
+of the
+.Fa buffer .
+The
+.Fa size
+is initialized depending on the mode:
+.Bl -tag -width r/w+
+.It Dv r/r+
+Set to the
+.Fa size
+argument.
+.It Dv w/w+
+Set to
+.Dv 0 .
+.It Dv a/a+
+Set to the first
+.Dv NUL
+byte, or the
+.Fa size
+argument if one is not found.
+.El
+.Pp
+Read or write operations advance the buffer, but not to exceed the given
+.Fa size
+of the
+.Fa buffer .
+Trying to read beyond the
+.Fa size
+of the
+.Fa buffer
+results in
+.Dv EOF
+returned.
+.Dv NUL
+bytes are read normally.
+Trying to write beyond the
+.Fa size
+of the
+.Fa buffer
+has no effect.
+.Pp
+When a stream open for writing is either flushed or closed, a
+.Dv NUL
+byte is written at the current position or at the end of the current
+.Fa size
+as kept internally, if there is room.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Fn fmemopen
+returns a
+.Dv FILE
+pointer.
+Otherwise,
+.Dv NULL
+is returned and the global variable
+.Va errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.Sh ERRORS
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa size
+was
+.Dv 0 ;
+or the
+.Fa mode
+argument is invalid;
+or the
+.Fa buffer
+argument is
+.Dv NULL
+and the
+.Fa mode
+argument does not specify a
+.Dv + .
+.El
+.Pp
+The
+.Fn fmemopen
+function
+may also fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors
+specified for the routine
+.Xr malloc 3 .
