Name

fgetpos function — Returns file position

Synopsis

int fgetpos(FILE* stream, fpos_t* pos)

The fgetpos function stores stream’s current position in the object that pos points to. The only use for the position is to save it and pass it to fsetpos to set the file’s position. You cannot use the position arithmetically, e.g., to advance the position by one character.

The return value is 0 for success or nonzero for failure. If fgetpos fails, it sets errno.
