    Declaration

    Source position: bufstream.pp line 70

    public 
function TReadBufStream.Seek(const Offset: Int64; Origin: TSeekOrigin)
                             : Int64;  override;

    Description

    Seek sets the location in the buffer. Currently, only a forward seek is allowed. It is emulated by reading and discarding data. For an explanation of the parameters, see TStream.Seek".

    The seek method needs enhancement to enable it to do a full-featured seek. This may be implemented in a future release of Free Pascal.

    Errors

    In case an illegal seek operation is attempted, an exception is raised.
