Many of the <> functions depend on this position, and many change it as a side effect. You can use <>/<> to set the position for the file identified by <[fp]>. The value of <[offset]> determines the new position, in one of three ways selected by the value of <[whence]> (defined as macros in `<>'): <>---<[offset]> is the absolute file position (an offset from the beginning of the file) desired. <[offset]> must be positive. <>---<[offset]> is relative to the current file position. <[offset]> can meaningfully be either positive or negative. <>---<[offset]> is relative to the current end of file. <[offset]> can meaningfully be either positive (to increase the size of the file) or negative. See <>/<> to determine the current file position. RETURNS <>/<> return <<0>> when successful. On failure, the result is <>. The reason for failure is indicated in <>: either <> (the stream identified by <[fp]> doesn't support repositioning) or <> (invalid file position). PORTABILITY ANSI C requires <>. <> is defined by the Single Unix specification. Supporting OS subroutines required: <>, <>, <>, <>, <>, <>, <>. */ #define _DEFAULT_SOURCE #include <_ansi.h> #include #include #include "local.h" int fseek ( register FILE *fp, long offset, int whence) { return fseeko ( fp, offset, whence); }
