29 int fgetpos(FILE *restrict <[fp]>, fpos_t *restrict <[pos]>);

33 Objects of type <<FILE>> can have a ``position'' that records how much
34 of the file your program has already read. Many of the <<stdio>> functions
35 depend on this position, and many change it as a side effect.
37 You can use <<fgetpos>> to report on the current position for a file
38 identified by <[fp]>; <<fgetpos>> will write a value
39 representing that position at <<*<[pos]>>>. Later, you can
40 use this value with <<fsetpos>> to return the file to this
43 In the current implementation, <<fgetpos>> simply uses a character
44 count to represent the file position; this is the same number that
45 would be returned by <<ftell>>.
48 <<fgetpos>> returns <<0>> when successful. If <<fgetpos>> fails, the
49 result is <<1>>. Failure occurs on streams that do not support
50 positioning; the global <<errno>> indicates this condition with the
54 <<fgetpos>> is required by the ANSI C standard, but the meaning of the
55 value it records is not specified beyond requiring that it be
56 acceptable as an argument to <<fsetpos>>. In particular, other
57 conforming C implementations may return a different result from
58 <<ftell>> than what <<fgetpos>> writes at <<*<[pos]>>>.
60 No supporting OS subroutines are required.
