                    is returned and 'errno' is set to EBADF (bad file
                    number).

   -------------------------------- Example ---------------------------------

    The following statements open a file and find its length.

           #include <io.h>
           #include <stdio.h>

           FILE *in;
           long length;

           main()
           {
                in = fopen("invoice.dat","r");
                .
                .
                length = filelength(fileno(in));
           }
