PROLOG

       This  manual  page  is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux implementation of this interface
       may differ (consult the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the  interface
       may not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

       fgetpos — get current file position information

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       The  functionality  described  on  this  reference  page is aligned with the ISO C standard. Any conflict
       between the requirements described  here  and  the  ISO C  standard  is  unintentional.  This  volume  of
       POSIX.1‐2008 defers to the ISO C standard.

       The  fgetpos()  function  shall  store  the  current values of the parse state (if any) and 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() for repositioning the stream to its position at the time of
       the call to fgetpos().

       The fgetpos() function shall not change the setting of errno if successful.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, fgetpos() shall return 0; otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value and set
       errno to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The fgetpos() function shall fail if:

       EBADF  The file descriptor underlying stream is not valid.

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

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