✨ libssh2_sftp_tell64 ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the libssh2 manual 💖 this one is short, sweet, and lowkey iconic. it's all about finding out where you're at inside a file. literally. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

libssh2_sftp_tell64</p> — get the current read/write position indicator for a file

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>

libssh2_uint64_t
libssh2_sftp_tell64(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle);

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe:

• handle — this is your SFTP File Handle, bestie. it's the one you got back from libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3). don't lose it, okay? 🫶

and what does this function do? it identifies the current offset of the file handle's internal pointer. that's it. that's the whole thing. it's giving "where am I right now in this file" energy and honestly? we love that for us. 💅

⭐ RETURN VALUE ⭐

the current offset from the beginning of the file, in bytes. periodt. 💖

🌈 AVAILABILITY 🌈
