sysseek
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.
