PROLOG

6       This  manual  page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.  The Linux

8       Linux  manual page for details of Linux behavior), or the interface may
9       not be implemented on Linux.

NAME

12       rewind - reset the file position indicator in a stream
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <stdio.h>
16
17       void rewind(FILE *stream);
18
19

DESCRIPTION

21       The call:
22
23
24              rewind(stream)
25
26       shall be equivalent to:
27
28
29              (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
30
31       except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator.
32
33       Since rewind() does not return  a  value,  an  application  wishing  to
34       detect  errors  should clear errno, then call rewind(), and if errno is
35       non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
36

RETURN VALUE

38       The rewind() function shall not return a value.
39

ERRORS

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