- otherwise on windows it is opened in text mode - ftell/fseek on windows only work correctly on binary files - see e.g. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47256223/why-does-fseek-0-seek-cur-fail-on-windows - this makes no difference on posix systems also use ftello/fseeko with type off_t instead of ftell/fseek with type long - https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/File-Positioning.html - "using ftello is preferable whenever it is available"
