PROLOG

       This  manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult the correspond-
       ing Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       rewind - reset the file position indicator in a stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       void rewind(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

       The call:

	      rewind(stream)

       shall be equivalent to:

	      (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)

       except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator.

       Since rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should clear errno, then call rewind(),	and  if  errno	is
       non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       The rewind() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS

       Refer to fseek() with the exception of [EINVAL] which does not apply.

       The following sections are informative.

EXAMPLES

       None.

APPLICATION USAGE

       None.

RATIONALE

       None.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

       None.
