+.SH PROLOG

+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),

+.SH NAME
+fileno
+\(em map a stream pointer to a file descriptor
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdio.h>
+.P
+int fileno(FILE *\fIstream\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+\fIfileno\fR()
+function shall return the integer file descriptor associated with
+the stream pointed to by
+.IR stream .
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+Upon successful completion,
+\fIfileno\fR()
+shall return the integer value of the file descriptor associated with
+.IR stream .
+Otherwise, the value \-1 shall be returned and
+.IR errno
+set to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+The
+\fIfileno\fR()
+function shall fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EBADF
+The stream is not associated with a file.
+.P
+The
+\fIfileno\fR()
+function may fail if:
+.TP
+.BR EBADF
+The file descriptor underlying
+.IR stream
+is not a valid file descriptor.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES
+None.
+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"
+None.
+.SH RATIONALE
+Without some specification of which file descriptors are associated
+with these streams, it is impossible for an application to set up the
+streams for another application it starts with
+\fIfork\fR()
+and
+.IR exec .
+In particular, it would not be possible to write a portable version of
+the
+.IR sh
+command interpreter (although there may be other constraints that would
+prevent that portability).
+.SH "FUTURE DIRECTIONS"
+None.
