FSEEK(3S)                DOMAIN/IX SYS5                 FSEEK(3S)



NAME
     fseek, ftell, rewind - reposition a stream

USAGE
     #include <stdio.h>

     fseek(stream, offset, ptrname)
     FILE *stream;
     long offset;

     long ftell(stream)
     FILE *stream;

     rewind(stream)


DESCRIPTION
     Fseek sets the position of the next input or output opera-
     tion on the stream.  The new position is set at offset bytes
     from the beginning, the current position, or the end of the
     file, according to whether ptrname has been set to the value
     0, 1, or 2, respectively.

     Fseek cancels any of the effects of ungetc(3S).

     Ftell returns the current value of the offset, in bytes,
     relative to the beginning of the file associated with the
     named stream.

     Rewind(stream) is equivalent to fseek(stream, 0L, 0).

DIAGNOSTICS
     Fseek returns -1 on an unsuccessful seek.
