fgetpos(3C)						   Standard C Library Functions 					       fgetpos(3C)

NAME
       fgetpos - get current file position information

SYNOPSIS
       #include <stdio.h>

       int fgetpos(FILE *stream, fpos_t *pos);

DESCRIPTION
       The fgetpos() function stores the current value of the file position indicator for the stream pointed to by stream in the object pointed to
       by pos. The value stored contains unspecified information usable by fsetpos(3C) for repositioning the stream to its position at the time of
       the call to fgetpos().

RETURN VALUES
       Upon successful completion, fgetpos() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns a non-zero value and sets errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       The fgetpos() function may fail if:

       EBADF	    The file descriptor underlying stream is not valid.

       ESPIPE	    The file descriptor underlying stream is associated with a pipe, a FIFO, or a socket.

       EOVERFLOW    The current value of the file position cannot be represented correctly in an object of type fpos_t.

USAGE
       The fgetpos() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file offsets.  See lf64(5).
