fread函数的返回值

使用fread返回值时需要注意，返回值不一定是读取到的字节数

函数原型

 //每次读取size个  读取nmemb次 
size_t fread(void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb, FILE *stream);
//每次写入size个  读取nmemb次
size_t fwrite(const void *ptr, size_t size, size_t nmemb,FILE *stream);

解析：当size=1的时候，返回值为读取/写入的字节数，如果size不为1则返回值不为字节数。
返回读写的次数，如果size=1，则返回值为读到的字节数。

比较返回值与fread时间

int get_string()
{
    FILE *fp;
    fp = fopen("flow.txt","r");
    if(fp == NULL)
    {
        printf("open flow error\n");
        return -1;
    }
    int ret=-1;
    char buf[512];

    struct timeval start, end;
    int interval;

    gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
    ret = fread(buf,1,26*5,fp);
    gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
    interval = 1000000*(end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) + (end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec);
    printf("ret1=%d\t",ret);

    printf("interval = %f\n\n", interval/1000.0);
    fseek(fp,0L,SEEK_SET);

    gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
    ret = fread(buf,26*5,1,fp);
    gettimeofday(&end, NULL);
    printf("ret2=%d\t",ret);
    interval = 1000000*(end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) + (end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec);

    printf("interval = %f\n\n", interval/1000.0);
    fseek(fp,0L,SEEK_SET);
    gettimeofday(&start, NULL);
    ret = fread(buf,1024,1,fp);
    gettimeofday(&end, NULL);

	printf("ret3=%d\t",ret);
    interval = 1000000*(end.tv_sec - start.tv_sec) + (end.tv_usec - start.tv_usec);
    printf("interval = %f\n\n", interval/1000.0);
    fclose(fp);
    return 0;
}

打印输出

ret1=130	interval = 0.005000

ret2=1	interval = 0.001000

ret3=0	interval = 0.001000

ret1 返回130，代表真实读到的字节数，时间比较大
ret2 返回1，读取1次，每次读26*5个字节，读到多少字节不知道，时间0.001000
ret2 返回0,读取1次，每次读1024个字节 时间0.001000
