────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
The tell function gets the current position of the file pointer
(if any) associated with the <handle> argument. The position is
expressed as the number of bytes from the beginning of the file.
Return Value
A return value of -1L indicates an error, and errno is set to
EBADF to indicate an invalid file-handle argument. On devices
incapable of seeking, the return value is undefined.
