 rewind(FILE* stream)

Syntax

void rewind(FILE* stream)

Description

Repositions the file pointer to the beginning of a stream. Sets the file pointer associated with the stream to the beginning of the file. A call to rewind is equivalent to:

fseek ( stream , 0L , SEEK_SET );

except that unlike fseek, using rewind the error indicator is cleared. The next operation with the stream after a call to fseek can be either for input or output. This function is also useful for clearing the keyboard buffer (normally associated with stdin).

Parameters

• stream
  Pointer to an open file.
