FILESEEK(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

fileseek() — sets file position, bestie. That's the whole assignment: moving the file position where you need it. 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

fileseek(f,offset)
FILE *f;
long offset;

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so fileseek() sets the logical position in the file f to offset. The next read or write operation begins with the byte at the new offset. Literally that's the vibe — cursor moved, business handled. ✨

🎀 RETURNS 🎀

none. No return value, no extra little treat, nothing. Periodt. 💖

👑 NOTES 👑

• File positions begin with 0 for the first byte. Zero-indexed, as she should be. 🌈
• When writing, it is legal to seek beyond the end of file. Yes bestie, past EOF is allowed when you're writing — no cap.
