The top-of-thread posting that I saw said this (some white space
added):

    Let assume that I have created a pointer to a File and
    I opened a file in some mode.

    For example:  FILE*  fp = fopen("example.txt", "r")

    I want to know if there is any function that takes as
    parameter the file pointer fp and returns the name of
    the file "example.txt" and the mode "r".

I don't see anything there that says he is asking (only) about
the standard C library.  What he wants to know is about "any
function".  Are you referring to some other comment that I may
have missed?
