Description

Hello,

It is a little cumbersome for system programming that there is no ftell in the Unix module.

Regards,
Francois.

(0008826) chambart (reporter) 2013-02-07 10:56	The unix library uses file descriptors, not streams. ftell is a stream function. If you want to know the current offset of a file descritor, use: lseek fd 0 SEEK_CUR

(0008829) berenger (reporter) 2013-02-08 01:56	I see. Thanks! It's OK to close my stupid request then.
