Hello,
I have constructed another demonstration program.
#include <errno.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
FILE *f = fopen("/dev/full", "a");
if (!f)
goto report_failure;
{
int const c = 'X';
if (fputc(c, f) != c)
goto report_failure;
}
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
report_failure:
perror(__func__);
return errno;
}
I got the following result.
elfring@Sonne:~/Projekte/selftests> gcc-7 putc_into_full_file1.c && ./a.out; echo $?
0
Does such a simple test example need further software development considerations?
Regards,
Markus

Your test is broken, you are writing actualy into a buffer.
Adding setbuf(f,NULL) to disable buffering will return
main: No space left on device
Otherwise force the buffer to be fflush()ed and i it will also
report an error.

from perror(3):
errno is undefined after a successful library call
so this may or may not return what you expect.
