fsetpos() - I/O Function

How is fsetpos() used in C++?
How to set file position?

Explanation

fsetpos() is an I/O function that moves the file position indicator to the point specified by the position parameter. This function returns a zero value on success, otherwise returns a nonzero value and sets the global variable errno to a positive value.

Syntax:


int fsetpos ( FILE * stream, const fpos_t * pos );

Example :



#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
FILE * str=fopen ("fsetposeg.txt","w");
fpos_t pos;
fgetpos (str, &pos);
fputs ("It is a blue color box",str);
fsetpos (str, &pos);
fputs ("This", str);
fclose (str);
return 0;
}

Result :

This is a blue color box

In the above example the "fsetpos()" is used to write a text "this" to the current file position of the specified stream.
