SEEKDIR(3C) Standard C Library Functions 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.
