       long offset;
       int ptrname;

       long ftell(stream)

       void rewind(stream)
       FILE *stream;

       the stream.  The new position is at the signed  distance	 offset	 bytes
       from  the  beginning,  the  current  position,  or the end of the file,
       according as ptrname has the value SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END.
