REWIND(3C) Standard C Library Functions REWIND(3C)
NAME
rewind - reset file position indicator in a stream
SYNOPSIS
#include <stdio.h>
void rewind(
FILE *stream);
DESCRIPTION
The call:
rewind(stream)
is equivalent to:
(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
except that
rewind() also clears the error indicator.
RETURN VALUES
The
rewind() function returns no value.
ERRORS
Refer to
fseek(3C) with the exception of
EINVAL which does not apply.
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.
