fseek
#include <cstdio>
int fseek( FILE *stream, long offset, int origin );
The function fseek() sets the file position data for the given stream. The origin value should have one of the following values (defined in cstdio):
Name Explanation SEEK_SET Seek from the start of the file SEEK_CUR Seek from the current location SEEK_END Seek from the end of the file
fseek() returns zero upon success, non-zero on failure. You can use fseek() to move beyond a file, but not before the beginning. Using fseek() clears the EOF flag associated with that stream.
