Mono.Unix.Native.Stdlib.rewind Method

Set the file position indicator of the FILE stream to the beginning of the file.

public static int rewind (IntPtr stream)

Parameters

stream
FILE stream to set file position indicator to the beginning of the file.

Returns

Documentation for this section has not yet been entered.

Remarks

The rewind() function sets the file position indicator for the stream pointed to by stream to the beginning of the file. It is equivalent to:

Stdlib.fseek(stream, 0, SeekFlags.SEEK_SET)

except that the error indicator for the stream is also cleared (see Stdlib.clearerr(3)).

Since rewind() does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should call Stdlib.SetLastError((Mono.Unix.Native.Error)0), then call rewind(), and if Stdlib.GetLastError is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.

Requirements

Namespace: Mono.Unix.Native
