fseek(3F)

fseek, fseek64, ftell, ftell64 - reposition a file on a logical unit

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Last changed in IRIX 6.5.5.

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)

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems

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      beginning of the file

     1      the current position

     2      the end of the file

     The value returned by fseek is 0 if successful.  Otherwise a system
     error code occurs.  (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 file systems.
