# zzip\_tell(3)

tell.

## NAME

zzip\_tell, zzip\_tell32 -  tell.

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include <zzip/lib.h>

zzip_off_t
zzip_tell(ZZIP_FILE* fp)
long
zzip_tell32(ZZIP_FILE* fp)
```

## DESCRIPTION

 The *zzip\_tell* function will *tell(2)* the current position in a real/zipped file

 It will return the current offset within the real/zipped file, measured in uncompressed bytes for the zipped-file case.

 If the file-handle is wrapping a stat'able file then it will actually just perform a normal *tell(2)*-call, otherwise the offset is calculated from the amount of data left and the total uncompressed size;

 The *zzip\_tell32* function is provided for users who can not use any largefile-mode.
