NAME
libssh2_sftp_seek - set the read/write position indicator within a file
SYNOPSIS
#include <libssh2.h>
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>
void
libssh2_sftp_seek(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle,
size_t offset);
DESCRIPTION
Deprecated function. Use libssh2_sftp_seek64(3) instead!
handle - SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
offset - Number of bytes from the beginning of file to seek to.
Move the file handle's internal pointer to an arbitrary location. Note
that libssh2 implements file pointers as a localized concept to make
file access appear more POSIX like. No packets are exchanged with the
server during a seek operation. The localized file pointer is used as a
convenience offset during read/write operations.
