NAME
       telldir — current location of a named directory stream


SYNOPSIS
       #include <dirent.h>

DESCRIPTION
       The  telldir()  function  shall  obtain the current location associated with the directory
       stream specified by dirp.

       If the most recent operation on the  directory  stream  was  a  seekdir(),  the  directory
       position  returned from the telldir() shall be the same as that supplied as a loc argument
       for seekdir().


RETURN VALUE

       directory stream.
