Any conflict between the requirements described here and the +ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2017 defers to the ISO\ C standard. +.P +The +\fIfseek\fR() +function shall set the file-position indicator for the stream pointed +to by +.IR stream . +If a read or write error occurs, the error indicator for the stream +shall be set and +\fIfseek\fR() +fails. +.P +The new position, measured in bytes from the beginning of the file, +shall be obtained by adding +.IR offset +to the position specified by +.IR whence . +The specified point is the beginning of the file for SEEK_SET, the +current value of the file-position indicator for SEEK_CUR, or +end-of-file for SEEK_END. +.P +If the stream is to be used with wide-character input/output functions, +the application shall ensure that +.IR offset +is either 0 or a value returned by an earlier call to +\fIftell\fR() +on the same stream and +.IR whence +is SEEK_SET. +.P +A successful call to +\fIfseek\fR() +shall clear the end-of-file indicator for the stream and undo any +effects of +\fIungetc\fR() +and +\fIungetwc\fR() +on the same stream. After an +\fIfseek\fR() +call, the next operation on an update stream may be either input or +output. +.P +If the most recent operation, other than +\fIftell\fR(), +on a given stream is +\fIfflush\fR(), +the file offset in the underlying open file description shall be +adjusted to reflect the location specified by +\fIfseek\fR(). +.P +The +\fIfseek\fR() +function shall allow the file-position indicator to be set beyond the +end of existing data in the file. If data is later written at this +point, subsequent reads of data in the gap shall return bytes with the +value 0 until data is actually written into the gap. +.P +The behavior of +\fIfseek\fR() +on devices which are incapable of seeking is implementation-defined. +The value of the file offset associated with such a device is +undefined. +.P +If the stream is writable and buffered data had not been written to the +underlying file, +\fIfseek\fR() +shall cause the unwritten data to be written to the file and shall mark +the last data modification and last file status change timestamps +of the file for update. +.P +In a locale with state-dependent encoding, whether +\fIfseek\fR() +restores the stream's shift state is implementation-defined. +.P +The +\fIfseeko\fR() +function shall be equivalent to the +\fIfseek\fR() +function except that the +.IR offset +argument is of type +.BR off_t . +.SH "RETURN VALUE" +The +\fIfseek\fR() +and +\fIfseeko\fR() +functions shall return 0 if they succeed. +.P +Otherwise, they shall return \-1 and set +.IR errno +to indicate the error. +.SH ERRORS +The +\fIfseek\fR() +and +\fIfseeko\fR() +functions shall fail if, +either the +.IR stream +is unbuffered or the +.IR stream 's +buffer needed to be flushed, and the call to +\fIfseek\fR() +or +\fIfseeko\fR() +causes an underlying +\fIlseek\fR() +or +\fIwrite\fR() +to be invoked, and: +.TP +.BR EAGAIN +The O_NONBLOCK flag is set for the file descriptor and the thread +would be delayed in the write operation. +.TP +.BR EBADF +The file descriptor underlying the stream file is not open for writing +or the stream's buffer needed to be flushed and the file is not open. +.TP +.BR EFBIG +An attempt was made to write a file that exceeds the maximum file size. +.TP +.BR EFBIG +An attempt was made to write a file that exceeds the file size +limit of the process. +.TP +.BR EFBIG +The file is a regular file and an attempt was made to write at or +beyond the offset maximum associated with the corresponding stream. +.TP +.BR EINTR +The write operation was terminated due to the receipt of a signal, +and no data was transferred. +.TP +.BR EINVAL +The +.IR whence +argument is invalid.
