seekdir(3C)

NAME

     seekdir - set position of directory stream

SYNOPSIS

     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <dirent.h>

     void seekdir(DIR *dirp, long int loc);

DESCRIPTION

     The  seekdir()  function  sets  the  position  of  the  next
     readdir(3C)  operation  on the directory stream specified by
     dirp to the position specified by  loc.  The  value  of  loc
     should   have   been   returned  from  an  earlier  call  to
     telldir(3C). The new position reverts to the one  associated
     with the directory stream when telldir() was performed.

     If the value of loc was not obtained from an earlier call to
     telldir() or if a call to rewinddir(3C) occurred between the
     call to telldir () and the call to seekdir(), the results of
     subsequent calls to readdir() are unspecified.

RETURN VALUES

     The seekdir() function returns no value.

ERRORS

     No errors are defined.
