pack_fseek(3)			 Allegro manual 		   pack_fseek(3)

NAME
     pack_fseek - Seeks inside a stream. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS
     #include <allegro.h>

     int pack_fseek(PACKFILE *f, int offset);

DESCRIPTION
     Moves the position indicator of the stream `f'. Unlike the standard fseek()
     function,	this only supports forward movements relative to the current po-
     sition and in read-only streams, so don't use negative offsets.  Note  that
     seeking  is  very	slow  when  reading  compressed  files, and so should be
     avoided unless you are sure that the file is not compressed. Example:

	input_file = pack_fopen("data.bin", "r");
	if (!input_file)
	   abort_on_error("Couldn't open binary data!");
	/* Skip some useless header before reading data. */
	pack_fseek(input_file, 32);

RETURN VALUE
     Returns zero on success or a negative number on error,  storing  the  error
     code in `errno'.
