Caveats

       Up  to glibc 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.

Description

       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).

History

       POSIX.1-2001, 4.3BSD.

Library

       Standard C library (libc, -lc)

Name

       seekdir - set the position of the next readdir() call in the directory stream.
