https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215848 --- Comment #1 from Avinash Sonawane (rootkea@xxxxxxxxx) --- I think we should only mention using `fseek` as a good practice between read and write operations since: a. fflush can't be used on input stream i.e. if last operation was read while fseek() can be used between read-write or write-read. b. fsetpos needs fgetpos to be called first. So let's drop `fgetpos+fsetpos` from the good practice suggestion So I suggest this small change: diff --git a/man3/fopen.3 b/man3/fopen.3 index a1d781706..fb289a537 100644 --- a/man3/fopen.3 +++ b/man3/fopen.3 @@ -138,8 +138,6 @@ result of writes other than the most recent.) Therefore it is good practice (and indeed sometimes necessary under Linux) to put an .BR fseek (3) -or -.BR fgetpos (3) operation between write and read operations on such a stream. This operation may be an apparent no-op (as in \fIfseek(..., 0L, SEEK_CUR)\fP Thanks! -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
