NAME

       fseeko, ftello - seek to or report file position

SYNOPSIS

       #include <stdio.h>

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

       off_t ftello(FILE *stream);

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 many architectures  both  off_t  and  long  are  32-bit  types,  but
       compilation with

              #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64

       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).

CONFORMING TO

       SUSv2, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       These  functions  are  found  on  System  V-like systems.  They are not
       present in libc4, libc5, glibc 2.0 but are available since glibc 2.1.
