Defined in header <cstdio>
typedef /* implementation-defined */ fpos_t;

std::fpos_t is a non-array complete object type, can be used to store (by std::fgetpos) and restore (by std::fsetpos) the position and multibyte parser state (if any) for a C stream.

The multibyte parser state of a wide-oriented C stream is represented by a std::mbstate_t object, whose value is stored as part of the value of a std::fpos_t object by std::fgetpos.

fgetpos	gets the file position indicator (function)
fsetpos	moves the file position indicator to a specific location in a file (function)
mbstate_t	conversion state information necessary to iterate multibyte character strings (class)
fpos	represents absolute position in a stream or a file (class template)
