+.SH NAME
+ftell, ftello \- return a file offset in a stream
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <stdio.h>
+.br
+.sp
+long ftell(FILE *\fP\fIstream\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.LP
+\fBoff_t ftello(FILE *\fP\fIstream\fP\fB); \fP

+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIftell\fP() function shall obtain the current value of the file-position
+indicator for the stream pointed to by
+\fIstream\fP.
+.LP
+The
+\fIftello\fP() function shall be equivalent to \fIftell\fP(), except
+that the return value is of type \fBoff_t\fP. 
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+Upon successful completion, \fIftell\fP()   \ and \fIftello\fP() 
+\ shall return the current value of the file-position indicator for
+the stream measured in bytes
+from the beginning of the file.
+.LP
+Otherwise, \fIftell\fP()   \ and \fIftello\fP()  shall return
+-1, cast to \fBlong\fP and \fBoff_t\fP respectively, and set \fIerrno\fP
+to indicate the error.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+The \fIftell\fP()   \ and \fIftello\fP()  functions
+shall fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B EBADF
+The file descriptor underlying \fIstream\fP is not an open file descriptor.
+.TP 7
+.B EOVERFLOW
+For \fIftell\fP(), the current file offset cannot be represented correctly
+in an object of type \fBlong\fP. 
+.TP 7
+.B EOVERFLOW
+For \fIftello\fP(), the current file offset cannot be represented
+correctly in an object of type \fBoff_t\fP. 
+.TP 7
+.B ESPIPE
+The file descriptor underlying \fIstream\fP is associated with a pipe
+or FIFO. 
+.sp
+.LP
+The \fIftell\fP() function may fail if:
+.TP 7
+.B ESPIPE
+The file descriptor underlying \fIstream\fP is associated with a socket.
