55 Objects of type <<FILE>> can have a ``position'' that records how much
56 of the file your program has already read. Many of the <<stdio>> functions
57 depend on this position, and many change it as a side effect.
59 The result of <<ftell>>/<<ftello>> is the current position for a file
60 identified by <[fp]>. If you record this result, you can later
61 use it with <<fseek>>/<<fseeko>> to return the file to this
62 position. The difference between <<ftell>> and <<ftello>> is that
63 <<ftell>> returns <<long>> and <<ftello>> returns <<off_t>>.
65 In the current implementation, <<ftell>>/<<ftello>> simply uses a character
66 count to represent the file position; this is the same number that
67 would be recorded by <<fgetpos>>.
70 <<ftell>>/<<ftello>> return the file position, if possible. If they cannot do
71 this, they return <<-1L>>. Failure occurs on streams that do not support
72 positioning; the global <<errno>> indicates this condition with the
76 <<ftell>> is required by the ANSI C standard, but the meaning of its
77 result (when successful) is not specified beyond requiring that it be
78 acceptable as an argument to <<fseek>>. In particular, other
79 conforming C implementations may return a different result from
80 <<ftell>> than what <<fgetpos>> records.
82 <<ftello>> is defined by the Single Unix specification.
84 No supporting OS subroutines are required.
