54 \fBlong int\fR \fBtelldir\fR(\fBDIR *\fR\fIdirp\fR);
60 The \fBtelldir()\fR function obtains the current location associated with the
61 directory stream specified by \fIdirp\fR.
64 If the most recent operation on the directory stream was a \fBseekdir\fR(3C),
65 the directory position returned from the \fBtelldir()\fR is the same as that
66 supplied as a \fIloc\fR argument for \fBseekdir()\fR.
70 Upon successful completion, \fBtelldir()\fR returns the current location of the
71 specified directory stream.
75 The \fBtelldir()\fR function will fail if:
82 The current location of the directory cannot be stored in an object of type
