FGETPOS(3P)		   POSIX Programmer's Manual		   FGETPOS(3P)

PROLOG
       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux
       implementation of this interface may differ (consult the	 corresponding
       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME
       fgetpos - get current file position information

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       int fgetpos(FILE *restrict stream, fpos_t *restrict pos);

DESCRIPTION
       The fgetpos() function shall store the  current	values	of  the	 parse
       state (if any) and file position indicator for the stream pointed to by
       stream in the object pointed to by  pos.	  The  value  stored  contains
       unspecified  information	 usable	 by  fsetpos()	for  repositioning the
       stream to its position at the time of the call to fgetpos().

RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, fgetpos() shall  return  0;	otherwise,  it
       shall return a non-zero value and set errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The fgetpos() function shall fail if:

       EOVERFLOW
	      The  current  value  of  the file position cannot be represented
	      correctly in an object of type fpos_t.

       The fgetpos() function may fail if:

       EBADF  The file descriptor underlying stream is not valid.

       ESPIPE The file descriptor underlying stream is associated with a pipe,
	      FIFO, or socket.
