PR_Available
============
Determines the number of bytes (expressed as a 32-bit integer) that are
available for reading beyond the current read-write pointer in a
specified file or socket.
Syntax
------
.. code::
#include <prio.h>
PRInt32 PR_Available(PRFileDesc *fd);
Parameter
~~~~~~~~~
The function has the following parameter:
``fd``
Pointer to a :ref:`PRFileDesc` object representing a file or socket.
Returns
~~~~~~~
The function returns one of the following values:
- If the function completes successfully, it returns the number of
bytes that are available for reading. For a normal file, these are
the bytes beyond the current file pointer.
- If the function fails, it returns the value -1. The error code can
then be retrieved via :ref:`PR_GetError`.
Description
-----------
:ref:`PR_Available` works on normal files and sockets. :ref:`PR_Available`
does not work with pipes on Win32 platforms.
See Also
--------
If the number of bytes available for reading is out of the range of a
32-bit integer, use :ref:`PR_Available64`.
