  streampos tellp();
 
  Remarks
 
  Gets the position value for the stream. Not all derived classes of
  ostream need support positioning. For file streams, the position is the
  byte offset from the beginning of the file; for string streams, it is
  the byte offset from the beginning of the string. Gets the value for the
  stream's put pointer.
 
  Return Value
 
  A streampos type that corresponds to a long.
