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.
ATTRIBUTES
For an explanation of the terms used in this section, see attributes(7).
| Interface | Attribute | Value |
fseeko(), ftello() |
Thread safety | MT-Safe |
NOTES
The declarations of these functions can also be obtained
by defining the obsolete _LARGEFILE_SOURCE feature test macro.
