+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+function
+associates a stream with up to four
+.Dq Tn I/O No functions .
+These
+.Tn I/O
+functions will be used to read, write, seek and
+close the new stream.
+.Pp
+In general, omitting a function means that any attempt to perform the
+associated operation on the resulting stream will fail.
+If the write function is omitted, data written to the stream is discarded.
+If the close function is omitted, closing the stream will flush
+any buffered output and then succeed.
+.Pp
+The calling conventions of
+.Fa read ,
+.Fa write ,
+and
+.Fa close
+must match those, respectively, of
+.Xr read 2 ,
+.Xr write 2 ,
+and
+.Xr close 2
+with the single exception that they are passed the
+.Fa cookie
+argument specified to
+.Nm
+in place of the traditional file descriptor argument.
+The
+.Fa seek
+function updates the current stream offset using
+.Fa *offset
+and
+.Fa whence .
+If
+.Fa *offset
+is non-NULL, it updates
+.Fa *offset
+with the current stream offset.
+.Pp
+.Nm
+is implemented as a thin shim around the
+.Xr funopen 3
+interface.
+Limitations, possibilities, and requirements of that interface apply to
+.Nm .
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+Upon successful completion,
+.Nm
+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
+A bogus
+.Fa mode
+was provided to
+.Nm .
+.It Bq Er ENOMEM
+The
+.Nm
+function
+may fail and set
+.Va errno
+for any of the errors
+specified for the
+.Xr malloc 3
+routine.

+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn funopen
+functions first appeared in
+.Bx 4.4 .
+The
+.Nm
+function first appeared in
+.Fx 11 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm
+function is a nonstandard glibc extension and may not be portable to systems
+other than
+.Fx
+and Linux.
