Which means ftell/fseek does not always work.
I think that both POSIX and Windows (mingw) have ftell/fseek. That
is enough for our needs.
What is clear is that it is not possible to map a numeric offset since
the beginning of the file to a fpos_t structure, so we will have to
use ftell and fseek.
And one simple question: Why set file position
It is part of the filesystem interface that is provided in the base
layer. For example, the user may want to open a stream at a given
position in a file to parse a PDF object.
