NAME

6       rewind - reset the file position indicator in a stream
7

SYNOPSIS

9       #include <stdio.h>
10
11       void rewind(FILE *stream);
12
13

DESCRIPTION

15       The call:
16
17
18              rewind(stream)
19
20       shall be equivalent to:
21
22
23              (void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
24
25       except that rewind() shall also clear the error indicator.
26
27       Since  rewind()  does  not  return  a  value, an application wishing to
28       detect errors should clear errno, then call rewind(), and if  errno  is
29       non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
30

RETURN VALUE

32       The rewind() function shall not return a value.
33

ERRORS

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