c - Does fread move the file pointer?

Question

Simple question,

When i use fread:

fread(ArrayA, sizeof(Reg), sizeBlock, fp);

My file pointer, fp is moved ahead?

Answer 1

Yes, calling fread does indeed move the file pointer. The file pointer will be advanced by the number of bytes actually read. In case of an error in fread, the file position after calling fread is unspecified.
