💅 MONGOC_GRIDFS_FILE_SEEK(3) — a libmongoc baddie 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so here's the signature, bestie — copy it exactly, no autocorrect energy: 💖

int
mongoc_gridfs_file_seek (mongoc_gridfs_file_t *file, int64_t delta, int whence);

🎀 PARAMETERS 🎀

  • file — a mongoc_gridfs_file_t. That's the file you're moving around in. 💖
  • delta — the amount to move the file position. May be positive or negative. ✨
  • whence — one of SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END. Pick your starting-point vibe. 🎯

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: adjust the file position pointer in the given file by delta, starting from the position whence. The whence argument is interpreted as in fseek(2): 🔥

  • SEEK_SET — set the position relative to the start of the file. ✨
  • SEEK_CUR — move delta relative to the current file position. 💫
  • SEEK_END — move delta relative to the end of the file. 🌈

On success, the file's underlying position pointer is set appropriately. On failure, the file position is NOT changed and errno is set to indicate the error. 🚨

💀 ERRORS 💀

  • EINVAL — whence is not one of SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR or SEEK_END. Wrong starting point, bestie. 🙈
  • EINVAL — the resulting file position would be negative. No negative positions allowed, periodt. 💅

👑 RETURNS 👑

Returns 0 if successful; otherwise -1 and errno is set. That's the whole return vibe. 🫶
