FSEEK(3F)                            BSD                             FSEEK(3F)



NAME
     fseek, ftell - reposition a file on a logical unit

SYNOPSIS
     integer function fseek (lunit, offset, from)
     integer offset, from

     integer function ftell (lunit)

DESCRIPTION
     lunit must refer to an open logical unit.  offset is an offset in bytes
     relative to the position specified by from. Valid values for from are

     ⊕  0, meaning "beginning of the file"

     ⊕  1, meaning "the current position"

     ⊕  2, meaning "the end of the file"

     The value returned by fseek will be 0 if successful; it will be a system
     error code otherwise.  (See perror(3F))

     ftell returns the current position of the file associated with the
     specified logical unit. The value is an offset, in bytes, from the
     beginning of the file.  If the value returned is negative, it indicates
     an error and will be the negation of the system error code. (See
     perror(3F))
