#include <rw/iotraits>
template<class stateT = mbstate_t>
class fpos

The template class fpos<stateT> is used by the iostream classes to maintain positioning information. It maintains three kinds of information: the absolute position, the conversion state and the validity of the stored position. Streams instantiated on tiny characters use streampos as their positioning type, whereas streams instantiated on wide characters use wstreampos, but both are defined as fpos<mbstate_t>.

template <class stateT = mbstate_t> 
class fpos {

 public:
          
  typedef stateT  state_type;

  fpos(long off = 0);
  fpos(state_type);                  

  state_type   state(state_type); 
  state_type   state () const;

};

state_type

The type state_type holds the conversion state, and is compatible with the function locale::codecvt(). By default it is defined as mbstate_t.

fpos(long off =0);

Constructs an fpos object, initializing its position with off and its conversion state with the default stateT constructor. This function is not described in the C++ standard.

fpos(state_type st);

Construct an fpos object, initializing its conversion state with st, its position with the start position, and its status to good.

state_type 
state() const;

Returns the conversion state stored in the fpos object.

state_type 
state(state_type st);

Store st as the new conversion state in the fpos object and return its previous value.

In the following,

• P refers to type fpos<stateT>

• p and q refer to an value of type fpos<stateT>

• O refers to the offset type ( streamoff, wstreamoff, long _)

• o refers to a value of the offset type

• i refers to a value of type int

Valid operations:

P p( i );	Constructs from int.
P p = i;	Assigns from int.
P( o )	Converts from offset.
O( p )	Converts to offset.
p == q	Tests for equality.
p != q	Tests for inequality.
q = p + o	Adds offset.
p += o	Adds offset.
q = p -o	Subtracts offset.
q -= o	Subtracts offset.
o = p - q	Returns offset.
