If you want to provide the functionality of being able to seek,
and if you accept there are some systems that require the fpos_t
magic cookies (as used by fgetpos/fsetpos), and if you want a
portable implementations, then using fgetpos/fsetpos gets you
the required functionality in a portable manner.
I don't know if that answers your question.
Fair enough. I think I was primarily just being pedantic, and wanting
to make sure that straightforward wrapping of fgetpos/fsetpos really
connected back to the guiding principles. This seems to be a decent
enough answer. Thanks!
