binaryfiles

Hi All,

I am having following issue with reading binary file in C.

I have read the first 8 bytes of a binary file. Now I need to start reading from the 9th byte. Following is the code:

fseek(inputFile, 2*sizeof(int), SEEK_SET);

However, when I print the contents of the array where I store the retrieved values, it still shows me the first 8 bytes which is not what I need.

Can anyone please help me out with this?

Regards, darkie

I am on MacOSX. I am writing a multi threaded program. One thread does logging. The non-logging threads may crash at any time.
