NAME
       fseek(),	 fseeko(),  rewind(),  ftell(),	 ftello()  - reposition a file
       pointer in a stream

SYNOPSIS
   Obsolescent Interfaces
DESCRIPTION
       sets the file-position indicator for stream.  The  new  position,  mea‐
       sured  in  bytes	 from the beginning of the file, is obtained by adding
       offset to the position specified by whence.  The specified position  is
       the  beginning  of the file for the current position for or end-of-file
       for

       file associated with the named stream.

RETURN VALUE
       and return zero if they succeed.	 Otherwise they return −1 and  set  to
       indicate the error.

       and  return  the	 current  value of the file position indicator for the
       stream measured in bytes from the beginning of  the  file.   Otherwise,
       and return −1 and set to indicate the error.

       and  do not return any value.  Therefore, any application that needs to
       detect errors should clear before calling or Then, upon completion,  if
       is non-zero, it should assume an error has occurred.

ERRORS
       and  fail  if the stream is unbuffered or the buffered data needs to be
       flushed, or if any of the following conditions are encountered:

	      The	      flag is set for  the  file  descriptor  and  the
			      process would be delayed in the write operation.

	      The	      stream is NULL.

	      The underlying file is not open for writing.

	      An attempt was made to write a file
			      that  exceeds  the  process's file size limit or
			      the maximum file size.  See ulimit(2).

	      The file	      offset cannot be	represented  correctly	in  an
			      object of type or size in this environment.

	      A signal was caught during the write operation.

	      The process is in a background process group
			      and  is  attempting  to write to its controlling
			      terminal, is set, the process is neither	ignor‐
			      ing  nor	blocking  the  signal, and the process
			      group of the process is orphaned.

	      There was no free space remaining on the device  containing  the
	      file.

	      An attempt was made to write to a pipe
			      that  is not open for reading by any process.  A
			      signal is also sent to the process.

	      A seek operation was attempted and the file descriptor  underly‐
	      ing
			      stream is associated with a pipe.

       also fail if:

	      The	      whence argument is invalid, or the file-position
			      indicator would be set to a negative value.

       Additional values may be set  by	 the  underlying  and  functions  (see
       write(2) and lseek(2)).

WARNINGS
       On HP-UX systems, the offset returned by is measured in bytes and it is
       permissible to seek to positions relative  to  that  offset.   However,
       when  porting  to  non-HP-UX  systems,  should be used directly without
       relying on any offset obtained from because arithmetic cannot  meaning‐
       fully  be performed on such an offset if it is not measured in bytes on
       a particular operating system.

       and have no effect on streams that have been opened in append mode (see
       fopen(3S)).

       and  are obsolescent interfaces supported for compatibility with exist‐
       ing DCE applications. New multithreaded applications should use and
