fseek
[edit | edit source]| Syntax |
#include <cstdio>
int fseek( FILE *stream, long offset, int origin );
|
The function fseek() sets the file position data for the given stream. The origin value should have one of the following values (defined in cstdio):
| Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| SEEK_SET | Seek from the start of the file |
| SEEK_CUR | Seek from the current location |
| SEEK_END | Seek from the end of the file |
fseek() returns zero upon success, non-zero on failure. You can use fseek() to move beyond a file, but not before the beginning. Using fseek() clears the EOF flag associated with that stream.
