24.SH NAME
25fseeko, ftello \- seek to or report file position
26.SH SYNOPSIS
27.nf
28.B #include <stdio.h>
29.sp
30.BI "int fseeko(FILE *" stream ", off_t " offset ", int " whence );

35.SH DESCRIPTION
63aa9df0
MK
36The \fBfseeko\fP() and \fBftello\fP() functions are identical to
37\fBfseek\fP() and \fBftell\fP() (see
fea681da 38.BR fseek (3)),
63aa9df0
MK
39respectively, except that the \fIoffset\fP argument of \fBfseeko\fP()
40and the return value of \fBftello\fP() is of type \fBoff_t\fP
fea681da
MK
41instead of \fBlong\fP.
42.LP
43On many architectures both \fBoff_t\fP and \fBlong\fP are 32-bit types,
44but compilation with
45.RS
46.nf
47#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
48.fi
49.RE
50will turn \fBoff_t\fP into a 64-bit type.
51.SH NOTES
52These functions are found on SysV-like systems.
53They are not present in libc4, libc5, glibc 2.0 but available since glibc 2.1.
