Does fgets() move the file pointer?

Question

Does the fgets() function move the file pointer automatically to the position till the parameter of the size mentioned by me?

for example:

the content of the file p.txt is " I am a good boy ". After using fgets(a, 5, fp1) does the file pointer move 5 positions ahead?

Answer 1

after using fgets(a,5,fp1) does the file pointer move 5 positions ahead ?

The pointer fp1 is not affected by the fgets call (or any other stdio I/O routine); The FILE object that fp1 points to will be updated to reflect the new file position, but the pointer itself does not change.
