.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.BR fseek
|
|
function sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.IR stream .
|
|
The new position, measured in bytes, is obtained by adding
|
|
.I offset
|
|
bytes to the position specified by
|
|
.IR whence .
|
|
If
|
|
.I whence
|
|
is set to
|
|
.BR SEEK_SET ,
|
|
.BR SEEK_CUR ,
|
|
or
|
|
.BR SEEK_END ,
|
|
the offset is relative to the
|
|
start of the file, the current position indicator, or end-of-file,
|
|
respectively.
|
|
A successful call to the
|
|
.BR fseek
|
|
function clears the end-of-file indicator for the stream and undoes
|
|
any effects of the
|
|
.BR ungetc (3)
|
|
function on the same stream.
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR ftell
|
|
function
|
|
obtains the current value of the file position indicator for the
|
|
stream pointed to by
|
|
.IR stream .
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR rewind
|
|
function sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.I stream
|
|
to the beginning of the file.
|
|
It is equivalent to:
|
|
.RS
|
|
(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
|
|
.RE
|
|
except that the error indicator for the stream is also cleared
|
|
(see
|
|
.BR clearerr (3)).
|
|
.LP
|
|
The
|
|
.BR fgetpos
|
|
and
|
|
.BR fsetpos
|
|
functions
|
|
are alternate interfaces equivalent to
|
|
.BR ftell
|
|
and
|
|
.BR fseek
|
|
(with whence set to \fBSEEK_SET\fR),
|
|
setting and storing the current value of
|
|
the file offset into or from the object referenced by
|
|
.IR pos .
|
|
On some non-UNIX
|
|
systems an
|
|
.B fpos_t
|
|
object may be a complex object
|
|
and these routines may be the only way to portably reposition a text stream.
|
|
.SH RETURN VALUES
|
|
The
|
|
.BR rewind
|
|
function
|
|
returns no value.
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.BR fgetpos ,
|
|
.BR fseek ,
|
|
.BR fsetpos
|
|
return 0,
|
|
and
|
|
.BR ftell
|
|
returns the current offset.
|
|
Otherwise, \-1 is returned and the global variable errno is set to
|
|
indicate the error.
|
|
.SH ERRORS
|
|
.RS
|
|
.IP \fBEBADF\fR
|
|
The
|
|
.I stream
|
|
specified
|
|
is not a seekable stream.
|
|
.IP \fBEINVAL\fR
|
|
The
|
|
.I whence
|
|
argument to
|
|
.BR fseek
|
|
was not
|
|
.BR SEEK_SET ,
|
|
.BR SEEK_END ,
|
|
or
|
|
.BR SEEK_CUR .
|
|
.RE
|
|
.LP
|
|
The function
|

.BR fgetpos ,
|
|
.BR fseek ,
|
|
.BR fsetpos ,

for any of the errors specified for the routines

.BR fflush (3),
