Hum... ok nevermind. My man page must be outdated.

FERROR(3) Linux Programmer's Manual FERROR(3)
NAME
clearerr, feof, ferror, fileno - check and reset stream status
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void clearerr(FILE *stream);
int feof(FILE *stream);
int ferror(FILE *stream);
int fileno(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The function clearerr() clears the end-of-file and error indicators for
the stream pointed to by stream.
The function feof() tests the end-of-file indicator for the stream
pointed to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set. The end-of-file
indicator can only be cleared by the function clearerr().
The function ferror() tests the error indicator for the stream pointed
to by stream, returning non-zero if it is set. The error indicator can
only be reset by the clearerr() function.
The function fileno() examines the argument stream and returns its
integer descriptor.
For non-locking counterparts, see unlocked_stdio(3).
ERRORS
These functions should not fail and do not set the external variable
errno. (However, in case fileno() detects that its argument is not a
valid stream, it must return -1 and set errno to EBADF.)
CONFORMING TO
The functions clearerr(), feof(), and ferror() conform to C89.
