NAME

rewind — reset file position indicator in a stream

SYNOPSIS

#include <stdio.h>

void rewind(FILE *stream);

DESCRIPTION

The call:

rewind(stream)

(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)

except that rewind() also clears the error indicator.

RETURN VALUE

The rewind() function returns no value.

ERRORS

Refer to fseek(3) with the exception of [EINVAL] which does not apply.

EXAMPLES

None.

APPLICATION USAGE

Because rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should clear errno , then call rewind() , and if errno is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

None.
