int fsetpos( FILE *fp, fpos_t *pos )

FILE   *fp;             /* open stream pointer */

fpos_t *pos;            /* structure to hold file position information */

Synopsis

#include "stdio.h"

The fsetpos function sets the current file position in fp to the value held by the structure pointed to by pos , as retrieved by fsetpos .

Parameters

fp is an open file stream. pos is the address of a file position structure (fpos_t is defined in stdio.h).

Return Value

fsetpos sets the current file position and returns 0 if successful, and a non-zero value if not.

Comments

The fpos_t type is provided for recording file positions, where the possible length of the file is too large to be represented in a long integer.
