+.SH PROLOG
+This manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual.
+The Linux implementation of this interface may differ (consult
+the corresponding Linux manual page for details of Linux behavior),
+or the interface may not be implemented on Linux.

+.SH NAME
+rewind
+\(em reset the file position indicator in a stream
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+.nf
+#include <stdio.h>
+.P
+void rewind(FILE *\fIstream\fP);
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The functionality described on this reference page is aligned with the
+ISO\ C standard. Any conflict between the requirements described here and the
+ISO\ C standard is unintentional. This volume of POSIX.1\(hy2008 defers to the ISO\ C standard.
+.P
+The call:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+rewind(stream)
+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+shall be equivalent to:
+.sp
+.RS 4
+.nf
+\fB
+(void) fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_SET)
+.fi \fR
+.P
+.RE
+.P
+except that
+\fIrewind\fR()
+shall also clear the error indicator.
+.P
+Since
+\fIrewind\fR()
+does not return a value, an application wishing to detect errors should
+clear
+.IR errno ,
+then call
+\fIrewind\fR(),
+and if
+.IR errno
+is non-zero, assume an error has occurred.
+.SH "RETURN VALUE"
+The
+\fIrewind\fR()
+function shall not return a value.
+.SH ERRORS
+Refer to
+.IR "\fIfseek\fR\^(\|)"
+with the exception of
+.BR [EINVAL]
+which does not apply.
+.LP
+.IR "The following sections are informative."
+.SH EXAMPLES

+.SH "APPLICATION USAGE"

+.SH RATIONALE
+None.
