<a name="index-fsetpos"></a>
<a name="index-_005ffsetpos_005fr"></a>
<p><strong>Synopsis</strong>
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">#include &lt;stdio.h&gt;
int fsetpos(FILE *<var>fp</var>, const fpos_t *<var>pos</var>);
int _fsetpos_r(struct _reent *<var>ptr</var>, FILE *<var>fp</var>,
    const fpos_t *<var>pos</var>);

</pre></div>
<p><strong>Description</strong><br>
Objects of type <code>FILE</code> can have a &ldquo;position&rdquo; that records how much
of the file your program has already read.  Many of the <code>stdio</code> functions
depend on this position, and many change it as a side effect.
</p>
<p>You can use <code>fsetpos</code> to return the file identified by <var>fp</var> to a previous
position <code>*<var>pos</var></code> (after first recording it with <code>fgetpos</code>).
</p>
<p>See <code>fseek</code> for a similar facility.
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Returns</strong><br>
<code>fgetpos</code> returns <code>0</code> when successful.  If <code>fgetpos</code> fails, the
result is <code>1</code>.  The reason for failure is indicated in <code>errno</code>:
either <code>ESPIPE</code> (the stream identified by <var>fp</var> doesn&rsquo;t support
repositioning) or <code>EINVAL</code> (invalid file position).
</p>
<br>
<p><strong>Portability</strong><br>
ANSI C requires <code>fsetpos</code>, but does not specify the nature of
<code>*<var>pos</var></code> beyond identifying it as written by <code>fgetpos</code>.
</p>
<p>Supporting OS subroutines required: <code>close</code>, <code>fstat</code>, <code>isatty</code>,
<code>lseek</code>, <code>read</code>, <code>sbrk</code>, <code>write</code>.
</p>
