):
seekdir(): _BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE
|| _XOPEN_SOURCE
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)
.
The seekdir() function returns no value.
The seekdir() function is thread-safe.
4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
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.
