+in particular, they must not perform arithmetic on objects +of this type. +.Pp +If the stream is a wide character stream (see +.Xr fwide 3 ) , +the position specified by the combination of +.Fa offset +and +.Fa whence +must contain the first byte of a multibyte sequence. +.Sh RETURN VALUES +The +.Fn rewind +function +returns no value. +.Pp +.Rv -std fgetpos fseek fseeko fsetpos +.Pp +Upon successful completion, +.Fn ftell +and +.Fn ftello +return the current offset. +Otherwise, \-1 is returned and the global variable +.Va errno +is set to indicate the error. +.Sh ERRORS +.Bl -tag -width Er +.It Bq Er EBADF +The +.Fa stream +argument +is not a seekable stream. +.It Bq Er EINVAL +The +.Fa whence +argument is invalid or +the resulting file-position +indicator would be set to a negative value. +.It Bq Er EOVERFLOW +The resulting file offset would be a value which +cannot be represented correctly in an object of type +.Fa off_t +for +.Fn fseeko +and +.Fn ftello +or +.Fa long +for +.Fn fseek +and +.Fn ftell . +.It Bq Er ESPIPE +The file descriptor underlying stream is associated with a pipe or FIFO +or file-position indicator value is unspecified +(see +.Xr ungetc 3 ) . +.El +.Pp +The functions +.Fn fgetpos , +.Fn fseek , +.Fn fseeko , +.Fn fsetpos , +.Fn ftell , +and +.Fn ftello +may also fail and set +.Va errno +for any of the errors specified for the routines +.Xr fflush 3 , +.Xr fstat 2 , +.Xr lseek 2 , +and +.Xr malloc 3 . +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr lseek 2 , +.Xr clearerr 3 , +.Xr fwide 3 , +.Xr ungetc 3 , +.Xr ungetwc 3 +.Sh STANDARDS +The +.Fn fgetpos , +.Fn fsetpos , +.Fn fseek , +.Fn ftell , +and +.Fn rewind +functions +conform to +.St -isoC . +.Pp +The +.Fn fseeko +and +.Fn ftello +functions conform to +.St -p1003.1-2001 . |
