long ftell(
FILE *stream /* stream pointer */

Description
Arguments
Return Value
Error Codes
The ftell() function obtains the current value of the position indicator for the
stream pointed to by stream. This value can be passed to fseek() as an input
parameter.
For a binary stream, the position indicator is the number of characters from the
beginning of the file. For a text stream, the position indicator contains unspecified
information, usable by fseek function.
If stream refers to an I/O device, this function does nothing and returns a zero.
stream Points to an open pREPC+ stream.
If successful, this function returns the current file position indicator. It returns EOF
if an error occurs, and sets the errno.
