28 * @short_description: Stream seeking interface
30 * @see_also: #GInputStream, #GOutputStream
32 * #GSeekable is implemented by streams (implementations of
33 * #GInputStream or #GOutputStream) that support seeking.
35 * Seekable streams largely fall into two categories: resizable and
38 * #GSeekable on fixed-sized streams is approximately the same as POSIX
39 * lseek() on a block device (for example: attmepting to seek past the
40 * end of the device is an error). Fixed streams typically cannot be
43 * #GSeekable on resizable streams is approximately the same as POSIX
44 * lseek() on a normal file. Seeking past the end and writing data will
45 * usually cause the stream to resize by introducing zero bytes.

107 * Attempting to seek past the end of the stream will have different
108 * results depending on if the stream is fixed-sized or resizable. If
109 * the stream is resizable then seeking past the end and then writing
110 * will result in zeros filling the empty space. Seeking past the end
111 * of a resizable stream and reading will result in EOF. Seeking past
112 * the end of a fixed-sized stream will fail.

116 * If @cancellable is not %NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
117 * triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
118 * was cancelled, the error %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned.
120 * Returns: %TRUE if successful. If an error
121 * has occurred, this function will return %FALSE and set @error
122 * appropriately if present.
