NAME

       fseeko, ftello - seek to or report file position

LIBRARY

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       int fseeko(FILE *stream, off_t offset, int whence);
       off_t ftello(FILE *stream);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       fseeko(), ftello():
           _FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64 || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L

DESCRIPTION

       The  fseeko() and ftello() functions are identical to fseek(3) and ftell(3) (see fseek(3)), respectively,
       except that the offset argument of fseeko() and the return value of ftello() is of type off_t instead  of
       long.

       On  some  architectures,  both  off_t  and long are 32-bit types, but defining _FILE_OFFSET_BITS with the
       value 64 (before including any header files) will turn off_t into a 64-bit type.

RETURN VALUE

       On successful completion, fseeko() returns 0, while ftello() returns the current offset.   Otherwise,  -1
       is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       See the ERRORS in fseek(3).
