FSEEK(3F)FSEEK(3F)NAME
fseek, fseek64, ftell, ftell64 - reposition a file on a logical unit
SYNOPSIS
integer function fseek (lunit, offset, from)
integer offset, from
integer function fseek64 (lunit, offset64, from)
integer *8 offset64
integer function ftell (lunit)
integer *8 function ftell64(lunit)DESCRIPTION
lunit must refer to an open logical unit. offset is an offset in bytes
relative to the position specified by from. Valid values for from are:
0 meaning `beginning of the file'
1 meaning `the current position'
2 meaning `the end of the file'
The value returned by fseek will be 0 if successful, a system error code
otherwise. (See perror(3F))
Ftell returns the current position of the file associated with the
specified logical unit. The value is an offset, in bytes, from the
beginning of the file. If the value returned is negative, it indicates
an error and will be the negation of the system error code. (See
perror(3F))
Fseek64 and ftell64 are identical in functionality to their 32 bit
counterparts except they can operate on files larger than 2 gigabytes in
some filesystems.
