    TCustomMemoryStream.Seek

    Sets a new position in the stream.

    Declaration

    Source position: classesh.inc line 1621

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

    Description

    Seek overrides the abstract TStream.Seek method. It simply updates the internal stream position, and returns the new position.

    Errors

    No checking is done whether the new position is still a valid position, i.e. whether the position is still within the range 0..Size. Attempting a seek outside the valid memory range of the stream may result in an exception at the next read or write operation.
