<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>

call will start.
The
<I>loc</I>
argument should be a value returned by a previous call to
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+telldir">telldir</A></B>(3).
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>

<H2>CONFORMING TO</H2>
POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD.
<A NAME="lbAH">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>NOTES</H2>
In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the type of the
<I>loc</I>
argument was
<I>off_t</I>.
POSIX.1-2001 specifies
<I>long</I>,
and this is the type used since glibc 2.1.2.
See
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?3+telldir">telldir</A></B>(3)
for information on why you should be careful in making any
assumptions about the value in this argument.
