- The main source for string functions is located at:
libc/src/stdiowith subdirectories for internal implementations.
These functions take in format strings and arguments of various types and convert either to or from those arguments. These functions are the current focus (owner: michaelrj).

These functions are used to interact with the FILE object type, which is an
I/O stream, often used to represent a file on the host's hard drive. Currently
the FILE object is only available on linux.

| fopen | |check| |
| freopen | |
| fclose | |check| |
| fflush | |check| |
| setbuf | |check| |
| setvbuf | |check| |
| ftell | |check| |
| fgetpos | |
| fseek | |check| |
| fsetpos | |
| rewind | |
| tmpfile | |
| clearerr | |check| |
| feof | |check| |
| ferror | |check| |
| flockfile | |check| |
| funlockfile | |check| |
These functions operate on files on the host's system, without using the
FILE object type. They only take the name of the file being operated on.

The gets function was removed in C11 for having no bounds checking and
therefor being impossible to use safely.
