NAME

       rewind - reset the file position indicator in a stream

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

       void rewind(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

       The call:

              rewind(stream)

       shall be equivalent to:

              (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)

       except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator.

       Since  rewind()  does  not  return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should
       clear errno, then call rewind(), and if errno is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

RETURN VALUE

       The rewind() function shall not return a value.

ERRORS

       Refer to fseek() with the exception of [EINVAL] which does not apply.
