Mono.Unix.Native.Stdlib.fgetpos

Parameters

pos

A Mono.Unix.Native.FilePosition in which to save the current file position. [Edit]

Remarks

The Mono.Unix.Native.FilePosition type holds a platform-specific representation of a file position. This is useful when the underlying standard C library cannot hold a file position in a long data type. For example, on 32-bit platforms a long is usually 32-bits in size; thus valid file positions as used from System.IO.Stream.Position cannot be set past 2^31 bytes (effectively limiting you to 2GB files).

Use this member if your underlying platform doesn't support System.IO.Stream.Seeking within large files, or you need to save text stream information.
