sysseek
filehandle
,
offset
,
whence
A variant of
seek()
that sets and gets the file's system read/write
position using the
lseek(2)
system call. It's the only reliable way to
seek before a
sysread()
or
syswrite()
. Returns the new position,
or
undef
on failure. Arguments are the same as for
seek
.
