Successful call to ftell or fgetpos

In subclause 7.9.9.2 on page 145, lines 39-40, “... a value returned by an earlier call to the ftell function ...” should actually read “... a value returned by an earlier successful call ...” Similarly for subclause 7.9.9.3.


Comment from WG14 on 1997-09-23:

Correction

In subclause 7.9.9.2, page 145, lines 39-40, change:

a value returned by an earlier call to the ftell function

to:

a value returned by an earlier successful call to the ftell function

In subclause 7.9.9.3, page 146, lines 10-11, change:

a value obtained from an earlier call to the fgetpos function

to:

a value obtained from an earlier successful call to the fgetpos function
