fsetpos(3C)                                                     fsetpos(3C)

NAME
     fsetpos, fgetpos, fsetpos64, fgetpos64 - reposition a file pointer in
     a stream

SYNOPSIS
     #include <stdio.h>

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

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

     int fsetpos64(FILE *stream, const fpos64t *pos);

     int fgetpos64(FILE *stream, fpos64t *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.

     fsetpos() 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 fsetpos().

     There is no functional difference between fsetpos()/fgetpos() and
     fsetpos64()/fgetpos64(), except for the interpretation of
     fpost/fpos64t [see lfs(5)].

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