|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fseek
|
|
function sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
The new position, measured in bytes, is obtained by adding
|
|
.Fa offset
|
|
bytes to the position specified by
|
|
.Fa whence .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa whence
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dv SEEK_SET ,
|
|
.Dv SEEK_CUR ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Dv 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
|
|
.Fn fseek
|
|
function clears the end-of-file indicator for the stream and undoes
|
|
any effects of the
|
|
.Xr ungetc 3
|
|
function on the same stream.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn ftell
|
|
function
|
|
obtains the current value of the file position indicator for the
|
|
stream pointed to by
|
|
.Fa stream .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn rewind
|
|
function sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed
|
|
to by
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
to the beginning of the file.
|
|
It is equivalent to:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl (void)fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
|
|
.Pp
|
|
except that the error indicator for the stream is also cleared
|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr clearerr 3 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fn fgetpos
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fsetpos
|
|
functions
|
|
are alternate interfaces equivalent to
|
|
.Fn ftell
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn fseek
|
|
(with whence set to
|
|
.Dv SEEK_SET
|
|
), setting and storing the current value of
|
|
the file offset into or from the object referenced by
|
|
.Fa pos .
|
|
On some
|
|
.Pq non- Ns Tn UNIX
|
|
systems an
|
|
.Dq Fa 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
|
|
.Fn rewind
|
|
function
|
|
returns no value.
|
|
Upon successful completion,
|
|
.Fn fgetpos ,
|
|
.Fn fseek ,
|
|
.Fn fsetpos
|
|
return 0,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fn ftell
|
|
returns the current offset.
|
|
Otherwise,
|
|
.Fn fseek
|
|
returns \-1 and
|
|
the others
|
|
return a nonzero value and the global variable
|
|
.Va errno
|
|
is set to indicate the error.
|
|
.Sh ERRORS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Er
|
|
.It Bq Er EBADF
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa stream
|
|
specified
|
|
is not a seekable stream.
|
|
