.SH NAME
isfdtype \- test file type of a file descriptor
.SH LIBRARY
Standard C library
.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include <sys/stat.h>
.B #include <sys/socket.h>
.P
.BI "int isfdtype(int " fd ", int " fdtype );

.P
.BR isfdtype ():
.nf
Since glibc 2.20:
_DEFAULT_SOURCE
Before glibc 2.20:
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
The
.BR isfdtype ()
function tests whether the file descriptor
.I fd
refers to a file of type
.IR fdtype .
The
.I fdtype
argument specifies one of the
.B S_IF*
constants defined in
.I <sys/stat.h>
and documented in
.BR stat (2)
(e.g.,
.BR S_IFREG ).
.SH RETURN VALUE
The
.BR isfdtype ()
function returns 1 if the file descriptor
.I fd
is of type
.I fdtype
and 0 if it is not.
On failure, \-1 is returned and
.I errno
is set to indicate the error.
.SH ERRORS
The
.BR isfdtype ()
function can fail with any of the same errors as
.BR fstat (2).
.SH VERSIONS
Portable applications should use
.BR fstat (2)
instead.
.SH STANDARDS
None.
.SH HISTORY
It appeared in the draft POSIX.1g standard.
It is present on OpenBSD and Tru64 UNIX
(where the required header file in both cases is just
.IR <sys/stat.h> ,
as shown in the POSIX.1g draft).
.SH SEE ALSO
.BR fstat (2)
