Defined in header ``<stdio.h>`` |  |
typedef /* implementation-defined */ fpos_t; |  |

`fpos_t` is a non-array complete object type, can be used to store (by fgetpos) and restore (by fsetpos) the position and multibyte parser state (if any) for a C stream.

The multibyte parser state of a wide-oriented C stream is represented by a mbstate_t object, whose value is stored as part of the value of a `fpos_t` object by fgetpos. | (since C95)
