int fsetpos(FILE* qpStream, const fpos_t* kqpPos);

Input File

Example

#include <cstdio>

int main()
{
    char* cpFileName = "XoaX.txt";
    // Open an ASCII text file for reading.
    FILE* qpFile = fopen(cpFileName, "r" );

    // Check that the file was opened successfully.
    if (!qpFile) {
        printf("Could not open %s for reading \n",  cpFileName);
        return 1;
    }

    fpos_t qPosition = 5;
    // Set the pointer to position 5 in the file.
    int iRet = fsetpos(qpFile, &qPosition);
    if (iRet == 0) {
        // Read in 'n' at 5 places from the beginning
        int iRead = fgetc(qpFile);
        printf("Read in: %c\n", (char)iRead);
    }
    fclose(qpFile);

    return 0;
}
