[bugzilla at busybox.net]

https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=5930

           Summary: Improper return value of fwrite in bytes,
           Product: uClibc
           Version: 0.9.33.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P5
         Component: stdio
        AssignedTo: unassigned at uclibc.org

fwrite(buf, sizeof(buf), 1, fp)

if any error occurs such as ENOSPC or EIO, then also fwrite return value 1, but
proper error code is set.

but from the man page of fwrite:
fwrite()  return  the number of items successfully read or written (i.e., not
the number of characters).  If an error occurs, or the end-of-file is reached,
the return value is a short item count (or zero).

But it can be seen with uclibc 0.9.33.2 the return value is 1 for the above use
case in case of failure also.

This issue was not observed with uClibc version 0.9.33.

Also as seen from the code in libc/stdio/_WRITE.c the following part seems to
be culpit
 * some hidden buffered crap in the buffer.
 */
 if (errno != EINTR && errno != EAGAIN) {
        /* do we have other "soft" errors? */
           break;
  }

return bufsize;

Apart from other these 2 error it breaks out of the loop and return bufsize .
