  stream
      Specifies the input or output stream.

DESCRIPTION
  The ferror() function tests whether input/output errors have occurred on
  the specified stream.

NOTES
  [Tru64 UNIX]	The ferror() function may be a macro (depending on the
  compile-time definitions used in the source). Consequently, you cannot use
  this interface where a function is necessary; for example, a subroutine
  pointer cannot point to it.

  specified by the stream parameter, a nonzero value is returned.  Otherwise,
  a value of 0 (zero) is returned.
