DESCRIPTION
The seekdir() function sets
the location in the directory stream from which the next
readdir(2) call will start.
seekdir() should be used with
an offset returned by
telldir(3).
NOTES
In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the type of the offset argument was
off_t. POSIX.1-2001 specifies
long, and this is the type used
since glibc 2.1.2.
