| .SH NAME |
| libssh2_sftp_seek - set the read/write position indicator within a file |
| .SH SYNOPSIS |
| .nf |
| #include <libssh2.h> |
| #include <libssh2_sftp.h> |
| |
| void libssh2_sftp_seek(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle, size_t offset); |
| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| Deprecated function. Use \fIlibssh2_sftp_seek64(3)\fP instead! |
| |
| \fIhandle\fP - SFTP File Handle as returned by |
| .BR libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3) |
| |
| \fIoffset\fP - 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 simply used as a |
| convenience offset during read/write operations. |
