pack_fseek(3)                   Allegro manual                   pack_fseek(3)



NAME
       pack_fseek - Seeks inside a stream. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
       #include <allegro.h>


       int pack_fseek(PACKFILE *f, int offset);

DESCRIPTION
       Moves the position indicator of the stream `f'. Unlike the standard
       fseek() function, this only supports forward movements relative to the
       current position and in read-only streams, so don't use negative
       offsets. Note that seeking is very slow when reading compressed files,
       and so should be avoided unless you are sure that the file is not
       compressed. Example:

          input_file = pack_fopen("data.bin", "r");
          if (!input_file)
             abort_on_error("Couldn't open binary data!");
          /* Skip some useless header before reading data. */
          pack_fseek(input_file, 32);

RETURN VALUE
       Returns zero on success or a negative number on error, storing the
       error code in `errno'.
