+.\" rewinddir 
+.SH NAME
+rewinddir \- reset the position of a directory stream to the beginning
+of a directory
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.LP
+\fB#include <dirent.h>
+.br
+.sp
+void rewinddir(DIR *\fP\fIdirp\fP\fB);
+.br
+\fP
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+The \fIrewinddir\fP() function shall reset the position of the directory
+stream to which \fIdirp\fP refers to the beginning of
+the directory. It shall also cause the directory stream to refer to
+the current state of the corresponding directory, as a call to
+\fIopendir\fP() would have done. If \fIdirp\fP does not refer to a
+directory stream, the
+effect is undefined.
+.LP
+After a call to the \fIfork\fP() function, either the parent or child
+(but not both) may
+continue processing the directory stream using \fIreaddir\fP(), \fIrewinddir\fP(),
+or
+\fIseekdir\fP().  If both the
+parent and child processes use these functions, the result is undefined.
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+.LP
+The \fIrewinddir\fP() function shall not return a value.
+.SH ERRORS
+.LP
+No errors are defined.
+.LP
+\fIThe following sections are informative.\fP
+.SH EXAMPLES
+.LP
+None.
+.SH APPLICATION USAGE
+.LP
+The \fIrewinddir\fP() function should be used in conjunction with
+\fIopendir\fP(), \fIreaddir\fP(), and \fIclosedir\fP() to examine
+the contents of the directory. This method is recommended for portability.
+.SH RATIONALE
+.LP
+None.
+.SH FUTURE DIRECTIONS
+.LP
+None.
