NAME
seek - change file offsetSYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>#include <libc.h>
vlong seek(int fd, vlong n, int type)
DESCRIPTION
Seek sets the offset for the file associated with fd as follows:- If type is 0, the offset is set to n bytes.
- If type is 1, the pointer is set to its current location plus n.
- If type is 2, the pointer is set to the size of the file plus n.
The new file offset value is returned.
Seeking in a directory is not allowed. Seeking in a pipe is a no-op.
