NAME

     libssh2_sftp_seek - set the  read/write  position  indicator
     within a file

SYNOPSIS

     #include <libssh2.h>
     #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

     void libssh2_sftp_seek(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle, size_t offset);

DESCRIPTION

     Deprecated function. Use libssh2_sftp_seek64(3) instead!

     handle   -    SFTP    File    Handle    as    returned    by
     libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)

     offset - 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.
