SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
int fgetpos(
FILE *stream,
fpos_t *position);
PARAMETERS
stream Specifies the I/O stream.
position Specifies the value of the file position indicator.
DESCRIPTION
The fgetpos( ) function is similar to the fseek( ) function. The fgetpos( ) function stores the
current value of the file position indicator for the stream pointed to by the stream parameter in
the object pointed to by the position parameter. The fsetpos( ) function sets the file position indi-
cator according to the value of the position parameter, returned by a prior call to the fgetpos( )
function.
Use From the Guardian Environment
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, the fgetpos( ) function returns a value of 0 (zero). If the fgetpos( )
function fails, a value of -1 is returned, and sets errno to [EINVAL].
ERRORS
If any of these conditions occurs, the fgetpos( ) sets errno to the corresponding value:
[EBADF] The file descriptor underlying the stream parameter is not a valid file descriptor.
[EFBIG] The buffers of the stream need to be flushed, and the starting point is greater than
or equal to the file offset maximum.
[EOVERFLOW]
The value of the file position cannot be represented in an object of type fpos_t.
[ESPIPE] An illegal attempt was made to get or set the file position of a pipe or FIFO.
RELATED INFORMATION
Functions: fgetpos64(3), fopen(3), fseek(3), fsetpos(3), ftell(3), rewind(3).
STANDARDS CONFORMANCE
The [EFBIG] errno value is an HP extension to the XPG4 specification.
