rewind(3C) Standard C Library Functions rewind(3C)NAME
rewind - reset file position indicator in a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void rewind(FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The call:
rewind(stream)
is equivalent to:
(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
except that rewind() also clears the error indicator.
RETURN VALUES
The rewind() function returns no value.
ERRORS
Refer to fseek(3C) with the exception of EINVAL which does not apply.
USAGE
Because 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.

The errors EBADF & ESPIPE occur at this fseek call. Does anybody know how to solve this problem? Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I have this line in a script:
if mt -f /dev/nst0 rewind > /tmp/status_nst0.log 2>&1 ; then
What does the 2>&1 mean? I think the line is saying that after rewinding the device if the log file does not exist then execute the code but I do not understand the contribution of the 2>&1.... (2 Replies)
