libssh2\_sftp\_seek(3) libssh2 libssh2\_sftp\_seek(3) # [NAME](#NAME) libssh2\_sftp\_seek - set the read/write position indicator within a file # [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS) ``` #include #include void libssh2_sftp_seek(LIBSSH2_SFTP_HANDLE *handle, size_t offset); ``` # [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION) Deprecated function. Use [*libssh2\_sftp\_seek64(3)*](/man/os/libssh2/libssh2_sftp_seek64.3) instead! *handle* - SFTP File Handle as returned by [**libssh2\_sftp\_open\_ex(3)**](/man/os/libssh2/libssh2_sftp_open_ex.3) *offset* - Number of bytes from the beginning of file to seek to. Move the file handle's internal pointer to an arbitrary location. Note that libssh2 implements file pointers as a localized concept to make file access appear more POSIX like. No packets are exchanged with the server during a seek operation. The localized file pointer is used as a convenience offset during read/write operations. # [SEE ALSO](#SEE_ALSO) **[libssh2\_sftp\_open\_ex(3)](/man/os/libssh2/libssh2_sftp_open_ex.3),** [**libssh2\_sftp\_seek64(3)**](/man/os/libssh2/libssh2_sftp_seek64.3) 22 Dec 2008 libssh2 1.0 --- Document: libssh2_sftp_seek(3) from libssh2 1.11.1-r11 (Chainguard OS) Source: https://github.com/libssh2/libssh2.git
