I've looked around and indeed there are no tests designed specially for
these calls. But quite franky if any of these functions are broken quite
a lot of tests will fail because these functions are used in the tests
and system extensivelly. So from a functional standpoint these are not
that important to test (we don't have 100% coverage and there parts of
the system that are, in my opinion, more important).

If you really need tests designed specially for these functions you can
write them yourself and LTP community will be happy to include them.

Or You can look into tests embedded in glibc, there should be basic
testcases for the stdio streams etc.

Same here, if you need them you can write them yourself. I can give you
hand in integrating them into LTP.
