This is in <stdio.h>:

/* Note that the definitions of these fields are NOT guaranteed!  They
   may change with any release without notice!  The fact that they
   are here at all is to comply with ANSI specifictions. */

typedef struct {
  int     _cnt;
  char   *_ptr;
  char   *_base;
  size_t  _bufsiz;
  int     _flag;
  int     _file;
  char   *_name_to_remove;
  size_t  _fillsize;
} FILE;


It looks like there's no requirement to reveal the insides of FILE in
C99.

Do we want it made into an opaque type?

Or if I'm wrong, could somebody point out where in the C standard the
requirement is?


Right,
