Reading a byte at certain position of a file in C++

Question

Is it possible to open a file and reading an only byte at a certain position without having to load all the file into an array?

For example, having a file of 10 bytes, and reading the 5th.

Answer 1

Yes, fseek and fgetc will do exactly this.
