<h4><a name="tag_03_192_03"></a>DESCRIPTION</h4>
<blockquote>
<div class="box"><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]"
border="0"> The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the ISO&nbsp;C standard. Any conflict between the
requirements described here and the ISO&nbsp;C standard is unintentional. This volume of IEEE&nbsp;Std&nbsp;1003.1-2001 defers to
the ISO&nbsp;C standard. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></div>
<p>The <i>fsetpos</i>() function shall set the file position and state indicators for the stream pointed to by <i>stream</i>
according to the value of the object pointed to by <i>pos</i>, which the application shall ensure is a value obtained from an
earlier call to <a href="../functions/fgetpos.html"><i>fgetpos</i>()</a> on the same stream. If a read or write error occurs, the
error indicator for the stream shall be set and <i>fsetpos</i>() fails.</p>
<p>A successful call to the <i>fsetpos</i>() function shall clear the end-of-file indicator for the stream and undo any effects of
<a href="../functions/ungetc.html"><i>ungetc</i>()</a> on the same stream. After an <i>fsetpos</i>() call, the next operation on an
update stream may be either input or output.</p>
<p><sup>[<a href="javascript:open_code('CX')">CX</a>]</sup> <img src="../images/opt-start.gif" alt="[Option Start]" border="0"> The
behavior of <i>fsetpos</i>() on devices which are incapable of seeking is implementation-defined. The value of the file offset
associated with such a device is undefined. <img src="../images/opt-end.gif" alt="[Option End]" border="0"></p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_192_04"></a>RETURN VALUE</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>The <i>fsetpos</i>() function shall return 0 if it succeeds; otherwise, it shall return a non-zero value and set <i>errno</i> to
indicate the error.</p>

<h4><a name="tag_03_192_05"></a>ERRORS</h4>

<p>First released in Issue 4. Derived from the ISO&nbsp;C standard.</p>
</blockquote>
<h4><a name="tag_03_192_12"></a>Issue 6</h4>
<blockquote>
<p>Extensions beyond the ISO&nbsp;C standard are marked.</p>
<p>An additional [ESPIPE] error condition is added for sockets.</p>
<p>The DESCRIPTION is updated to avoid use of the term &quot;must&quot; for application requirements.</p>
<p>The DESCRIPTION is updated to clarify that the error indicator is set for the stream on a read or write error. This is for
alignment with the ISO/IEC&nbsp;9899:1999 standard.</p>
