Files - moving around

Files - FILE *fp;

fp = fopen(“somefile”,”rb”);

long offset; int origin;

• offset = ftell(fp); /* return current position */

• fseek(fp,offset,origin);

/*1. move offset characters from the beginning of the

file (origin = 0);

2. move offset characters from the current position

in the file (origin = 1);

3. move offset characters from the end of the file

(origin = 2); */

e.g. fseek(fp, 0L, 0) sets the current position to the beginning of the file “somefile”
