Module posix.stdio
A few Standard I/O functions not already in Lua core.
Functions
| ctermid () | Name of controlling terminal. | 
| fdopen (fd, mode) | Create a Lua file object from a file descriptor. | 
| fileno (file) | File descriptor corresponding to a Lua file object. | 
| rename (oldpath, newpath) | Change the name or location of a file | 
Constants
| posix.stdio | Stdio constants. |

Constants
- posix.stdio
- 
    Stdio constants.
Any constants not available in the underlying system will be nilvalued.Fields:- _IOFBF int fully buffered
- _IOLBF int line buffered
- _IONBF int unbuffered
- BUFSIZ int size of buffer
- EOF int end of file
- FOPEN_MAX int maximum number of open files
- FILENAME_MAX int maximum length of filename
 Usage:-- Print stdio constants supported on this host. for name, value in pairs (require "posix.stdio") do if type (value) == "number" then print (name, value) end end
