Valid in Client LIBMI Application?	Valid in User-Defined Routine?
Yes	Yes

The mi_file_tell() function obtains the seek position for the operating-system file that fd identifies.

This function can access files on the server computer from a C UDR.

The mi_file_tell() function does not throw an MI_Exception event when it encounters a runtime error. Therefore, it does not cause callbacks to be invoked.

See the descriptions of the following functions: mi_file_open() and mi_file_seek().
