Same as ferror, except used only within a scope protected by
    flockfile and funlockfile.

    This function is supported on OpenVMS Integrity servers and
    Alpha only.

    Format

      #include  <stdio.h>

      int ferror_unlocked  (FILE *file_ptr);

1 - Argument

 file_ptr

    A file pointer.

2 - Description

    The reentrant version of the ferror function is locked against
    multiple threads calling it simultaneously. This incurs overhead
    to ensure integrity of the stream. The unlocked version of this
    call, ferror_unlocked can be used to avoid the overhead. The
    ferror_unlocked function is functionally identical to the ferror
    function, except that it is not required to be implemented in a
    thread-safe manner. The ferror_unlocked function can be safely
    used only within a scope that is protected by the flockfile and
    funlockfile functions used as a pair. The caller must ensure that
    the stream is locked before ferror_unlocked is used.

    See also flockfile, ftrylockfile, and funlockfile.

3 - Return Values

    0                  Indicates success.
    nonzero integer    Indicates that an error has occurred.
