std::streamoff(3)	       C++ Standard Libary	       std::streamoff(3)

NAME
     std::streamoff - std::streamoff

Synopsis
	Defined in header <ios>
	typedef /*implementation-defined*/ streamoff;

	The type std::streamoff is an implementation-defined
	signed integral
	(since	C++11) type of sufficient size to represent the maximum possible
     file size
	supported by the operating system.
	Typically, this is an alias for long long.
	(since C++11)

	It is used to represent offsets from stream positions  (values	of  type
     std::fpos). A
	std::streamoff value constructed from -1 is also used to represent error
     conditions
	by some of the I/O library functions.

	Relationship with std::fpos

	  *  the  difference  between  two  std::fpos objects is a value of type
     std::streamoff
	  * a value of type std::streamoff  may  be  added  or	subtracted  from
     std::fpos
	    yielding a different std::fpos.
	  *   a   value   of   type   std::fpos  is  implicitly  convertible  to
     std::streamoff (the
	    conversion result is the offset from the beginning of the file).
	  * a value of type std::fpos is constructible	from  a  value	of  type
     std::streamoff

See also
	fpos  represents absolute position in a stream or a file
	      (class template)
	seekg sets the input position indicator
	      (public member function of std::basic_istream<CharT,Traits>)
	seekp sets the output position indicator
	      (public member function of std::basic_ostream<CharT,Traits>)
