fseeko(3)                                             Library Functions Manual                                            fseeko(3)

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  in‐
       cluding 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 er‐
       rno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS
       See the ERRORS in fseek(3).

VERSIONS
       These functions are available since glibc 2.1.

STANDARDS

NOTES
       The declarations of these functions can also be obtained by defining the obsolete _LARGEFILE_SOURCE feature test macro.
