46 .TH SEEKDIR 3C "Aug 14, 2002"
48 seekdir \- set position of directory stream
52 #include <sys/types.h>
55 \fBvoid\fR \fBseekdir\fR(\fBDIR *\fR\fIdirp\fR, \fBlong int\fR \fIloc\fR);
61 The \fBseekdir()\fR function sets the position of the next \fBreaddir\fR(3C)
62 operation on the directory stream specified by \fIdirp\fR to the position
63 specified by \fIloc\fR. The value of \fIloc\fR should have been returned from
64 an earlier call to \fBtelldir\fR(3C). The new position reverts to the one
65 associated with the directory stream when \fBtelldir()\fR was performed.
68 If the value of \fIloc\fR was not obtained from an earlier call to
69 \fBtelldir()\fR or if a call to \fBrewinddir\fR(3C) occurred between the call
70 to \fBtelldir()\fR and the call to \fBseekdir()\fR, the results of
71 subsequent calls to \fBreaddir()\fR are unspecified.
75 The \fBseekdir()\fR function returns no value.
79 No errors are defined.
