Defined in header <stdio.h>
int fgetpos( FILE          *stream, fpos_t          *pos );		(until C99)
int fgetpos( FILE *restrict stream, fpos_t *restrict pos );		(since C99)

Obtains the file position indicator for the file stream stream and stores it in pos.

Parameters

stream	-	file stream to examine
pos	-	pointer to a fpos_t object to store the file position indicator to

Return value

​0​ upon success, nonzero value otherwise
