fgetpos available in Go? Want to find File.Position

Question

I have a File and I want to find the file offset/position, what would be fgetpos in stdio. I can\'t seem to find it in http://golang.o

Answer 1

You should be able to do a Seek() to 0 bytes from the current position, which returns the resulting position. I'm not 100% sure the result is the absolute position you're after, but I would expect it to be.

offset, err := f.Seek(0, io.SeekCurrent)
if err != nil {
    // handle error
}
// offset is the current position
