在文件读写的时候，一般需要借助fstream来进行文件操作，常见的操作有seekg()和tellg()，但是这两个函数有一些需要注意的地方，如下：

定义，参考cppreference
seekg: Sets input position indicator of the current associated streambuf object.中文的意思是：设置当前关联streambuf对象的输入位置指示器
tellg: Returns input position indicator of the current associated streambuf object.中文的意思是：返回当前关联streambuf对象的输入位置指示器

首先准备一个test.txt，每行15个字符，共45个字符

ssssssssssssss
aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
dddddddddddddd

测试程序：

#include <iostream>
#include "fstream"
using namespace std;int main() {int size = 0;std::string fileName = "../test.txt";ifstream in(fileName.c_str(), ifstream::in | ifstream::binary);if(in){in.seekg(0,ifstream::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream1*** =" << size << endl;  // ********** size stream1*** =44in.seekg(0,ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream2*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream2*** =44in.seekg(ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream3*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream3*** =2in.seekg(10,ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream4*** =" << size << endl; //  ********** size stream4*** =54in.seekg(-10,ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream5*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream5*** =34in.seekg(0,ios::beg);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream6*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream6*** =0in.seekg(ios::beg);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream7*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream7*** =0in.seekg(14);in.seekg(0, ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream8*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream8*** =44in.seekg(10);in.seekg(0, ios::cur);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream9*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream9*** =10in.seekg(ios::beg,ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream10*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream10*** =44in.seekg(ios::beg);in.seekg(ios::end);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream11*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream11*** =2in.seekg(ios::cur);size = in.tellg();cout <<"********** size stream12*** =" << size << endl; // ********** size stream12*** =1}
}

代码分析：

seekg()，用来设置stream的文件指针位置，如in.seekg(14)就是将文件指针设置到14位置处（相对begin位置），这里相当于in.seekg(14, ios::beg)，但是对于in.seekg(ios::end)却截然不同，如stream3输出为2，这是因为enum seekdir {beg, cur, end}，所以当使用ios::cur和ios::end且只有一个参数的时候，会将ios::cur隐式转换为1，ios::end隐式转换为2，所以stream3输出2，stream12输出1，这告诉我们当使用beg, cur, end，为了避免错误，请使用两个参数，如in.seekg(0,ios::end)代替in.seekg(ios::end)
tellg()，没啥好说的，就是返回文件流指针所在位置
