NAME
       libssh2_sftp_seek - set the read/write position indicator within a file

SYNOPSIS
       #include <libssh2.h>
       #include <libssh2_sftp.h>

       void
       libssh2_sftp_seek(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle,
                         size_t offset);

DESCRIPTION
       Deprecated function. Use libssh2_sftp_seek64(3) instead!

       handle - SFTP File Handle as returned by libssh2_sftp_open_ex(3)

       offset - Number of bytes from the beginning of file to seek to.

       Move the file handle's internal pointer to an arbitrary location.  Note
       that 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 used as a
       convenience offset during read/write operations.
