Hello.

I was looking at fseek(), fgetpos(), fsetpos() earlier and I noticed that
fsetpos() appears to ignore the return value of fseek(). Is this intended?
If not, there's a patch below to fix it. I also altered the return value
to be -1, to be consistent with fseek(). If this is the intended
behaviour, may I ask why?

Here's the patch:

  {
    if (stream && pos)
    {
!     fseek(stream, (long)(*pos), SEEK_SET);
!     return 0;
    }
    errno = EFAULT;
!   return 1;
  }

  {
    if (stream && pos)
    {
!     return(fseek(stream, (long)(*pos), SEEK_SET));
    }
    errno = EFAULT;
!   return -1;
  }
