27 /* FUNCTION
28 Changes the current read/write position in a file and/or
29 reads the current position, e.g to get the current position
30 do a Seek(file,0,OFFSET_CURRENT).
32 This function may fail (obviously) on certain devices such
33 as pipes or console handlers.
35 INPUTS
36 file - filehandle
37 position - relative offset in bytes (positive, negative or 0).
38 mode - Where to count from. Either OFFSET_BEGINNING,
39 OFFSET_CURRENT or OFFSET_END.
41 RESULT
42 Absolute position in bytes before the Seek(), -1 if an error
43 happened. IoErr() will give additional information in that case.
