NAME

12       telldir — current location of a named directory stream
13

SYNOPSIS

15       #include <dirent.h>
16
17       long telldir(DIR *dirp);
18

DESCRIPTION

20       The telldir() function shall obtain  the  current  location  associated
21       with the directory stream specified by dirp.
22
23       If  the  most recent operation on the directory stream was a seekdir(),
24       the directory position returned from the telldir() shall be the same as
25       that supplied as a loc argument for seekdir().
26

RETURN VALUE

28       Upon successful completion, telldir() shall return the current location
29       of the specified directory stream.
