# fseek

fseek -- seek on a file pointer

## Description

`int fseek`(int fp, int offset);

Sets the file position indicator for the file referenced by fp to offset bytes into the file stream. Equivalent to calling (in C) `fseek( fp, offset, SEEK_SET )`.

Upon success, returns 0; otherwise, returns -1. Note that seeking past EOF is not considered an error.

May not be used on file pointers returned by fopen() if they use the "http://" or "ftp://" formats.

See also ftell() and rewind().
