Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

/* HEXDUMP.C illustrates directory splitting and character stream I/O.
 * Functions illustrated include:
 *      _splitpath      _makepath       getw            putw
 *      fgetc           fputc           fgetchar        fputchar
 *      getc            putc            getchar         putchar
 *      _fsopen
 *
 * While fgetchar, getchar, fputchar, and putchar are not specifically
 * used in the example, they are equivalent to using fgetc or getc with
 * stdin, or to using fputc or putc with stdout. See FUNGET.C for another
 * example of fgetc and getc.
