SEEKDIR(3)						     Linux Programmer's Manual							SEEKDIR(3)

NAME

       seekdir - set the position of the next readdir() call in the directory stream.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <dirent.h>

       void seekdir(DIR *dirp, long offset);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       seekdir(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The  seekdir() function sets the location in the directory stream from which the next readdir(2) call will start.  seekdir() should be used
       with an offset returned by telldir(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The seekdir() function returns no value.

CONFORMING TO

       4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.

NOTES

       In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the type of the offset argument was off_t.  POSIX.1-2001 specifies long, and this	is  the  type  used  since
       glibc 2.1.2.

SEE ALSO

       lseek(2), closedir(3), opendir(3), readdir(3), rewinddir(3), scandir(3), telldir(3)

NAME

       seekdir - set the position of the next readdir() call in the directory stream.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <dirent.h>

       void seekdir(DIR *dirp, long loc);

   Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

       seekdir():
	_XOPEN_SOURCE
	   || /* Glibc since 2.19: */ _DEFAULT_SOURCE
	   || /* Glibc versions <= 2.19: */ _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE

DESCRIPTION

       The  seekdir()  function sets the location in the directory stream from which the next readdir(2) call will start.  The loc argument should
       be a value returned by a previous call to telldir(3).

RETURN VALUE

       The seekdir() function returns no value.

CONFORMING TO

       POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD.

NOTES

       In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the type of the loc argument was off_t.  POSIX.1-2001 specifies long, and this is the type used  since  glibc
       2.1.2.  See telldir(3) for information on why you should be careful in making any assumptions about the value in this argument.
