FGetPos

FGetPos refNum

The FGetPos operation returns the file position for a file.

FGetPos is a faster alternative to FStatus if the only thing you are interested in is the file position.

The FGetPos operation was added in Igor Pro 7.00.

Parameters

FGetPos supports very big files theoretically up to about 4.5E15 bytes in length.

FGetPos sets the following variables:

V_flagNonzero (true) if refNum is valid.
V_filePosCurrent file position for the file in bytes from the start.
