fsetpos(3C)         (C Programming Language Utilities)          fsetpos(3C)


   NAME
         fsetpos, fgetpos - reposition a file pointer in a stream

   SYNOPSIS
         #include <stdio.h>

         int fsetpos (FILE *stream, const fpost *pos);

         int fgetpos (FILE *stream, fpost *pos);

   DESCRIPTION
         fsetpos sets the position of the next input or output operation on
         the stream according to the value of the object pointed to by pos.
         The object pointed to by pos must be a value returned by an earlier
         call to fgetpos on the same stream.

         fsetpos clears the end-of-file indicator for the stream and undoes
         any effects of the ungetc function on the same stream. After fsetpos,
         the next operation on a file opened for update may be either input or
         output.

         fgetpos stores the current value of the file position indicator for
         stream in the object pointed to by pos.  The value stored contains
         information usable by fsetpos for repositioning the stream to its
         position at the time of the call to fgetpos.

         If successful, both fsetpos and fgetpos return zero. Otherwise, they
         both return nonzero.
