.SH NAME
|
|
libssh2_sftp_seek64 - set the read/write position within a file
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
.nf
|
|
#include <libssh2.h>
|
|
#include <libssh2_sftp.h>
|
|
|
|
void libssh2_sftp_seek64(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle,
|
|
libssh2_uint64_t offset);
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
\fIhandle\fP - SFTP File Handle as returned by
|
|
.BR libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)
|
|
|
|
\fIoffset\fP - Number of bytes from the beginning of file to seek to.
|
|
|
|
Move the file handle's internal pointer to an arbitrary location. 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.
|
|
|
|
You MUST NOT seek during writing or reading a file with SFTP, as the internals
|
|
use outstanding packets and changing the "file position" during transit will
|
|
results in badness.
