DESCRIPTION

19       The seekdir() function sets the location in the directory  stream  from
20       which  the  next  readdir(2) call will start.  seekdir() should be used
21       with an offset returned by telldir(3).
22

RETURN VALUE

24       The seekdir() function returns no value.
25

CONFORMING TO

27       4.3BSD, POSIX.1-2001.
28

NOTES

30       In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the  type  of  the  offset  argument  was
31       off_t.   POSIX.1-2001  specifies  long, and this is the type used since
32       glibc 2.1.2.
