The telldir() function obtains the current location associated with the directory stream specified by dirp.

If the most recent operation on the directory stream was a seekdir(3C), the directory position returned from the telldir() is the same as that supplied as a loc argument for seekdir().

Upon successful completion, telldir() returns the current location of the specified directory stream.

The telldir() function will fail if:

EOVERFLOW

The current location of the directory cannot be stored in an object of type long.
