- .SH NAME
- lseek - move read/write pointer
- .SH SYNOPSIS
- .nf
- .ft B
- #include <sys/types.h>
- #include <unistd.h>
- .ta +1.8i +0.6i
- #define SEEK_SET 0 /* offset is absolute */
- #define SEEK_CUR 1 /* relative to current position */
- #define SEEK_END 2 /* relative to end of file */
- off_t lseek(int d, off_t offset, int whence)
- .fi
- .ft R
- .SH DESCRIPTION
- The descriptor
- .I d
- refers to a file or device open for reading and/or writing.
- .B Lseek
- sets the file pointer of
- .I d
- as follows:
- .IP
- If
- .I whence
- is SEEK_SET, the pointer is set to
- .I offset
- bytes.
- .IP
- If
- .I whence
- is SEEK_CUR, the pointer is set to its current location plus
- .IR offset .
- .IP
- If
- .I whence
- is SEEK_END, the pointer is set to the size of the
- file plus
- .IR offset .
- .PP
- Upon successful completion, the resulting pointer location
- as measured in bytes from beginning of the file is returned.
- Some devices are incapable of seeking. The value of the pointer
- associated with such a device is undefined.
- .SH NOTES
- Seeking far beyond the end of a file, then writing,
- creates a gap or *(lqhole*(rq, which occupies no
- physical space and reads as zeros.
- .SH "RETURN VALUE
- Upon successful completion,
- the current file pointer value is returned.
- Otherwise,
- a value of -1 is returned and fBerrnofP is set to indicate
- the error.
- .SH "ERRORS
- .B Lseek
- will fail and the file pointer will remain unchanged if:
- .TP 15
- [EBADF]
- .I Fildes
- is not an open file descriptor.
- .TP 15
- [ESPIPE]
- .I Fildes
- is associated with a pipe or a socket.
- .TP 15
- [EINVAL]
- .I Whence
- is not a proper value.
- .SH "SEE ALSO"
- .BR fcntl (2),
- .BR open (2).
- .SH BUGS
- This document's use of
- .I whence
- is incorrect English, but maintained for historical reasons.
