Expand description
Enumeration of possible methods to seek within an I/O object.
It is used by the Seek
trait.
Variants§
Start(u64)
Sets the offset to the provided number of bytes.
End(i64)
Sets the offset to the size of this object plus the specified number of bytes.
It is possible to seek beyond the end of an object, but it’s an error to seek before byte 0.
Current(i64)
Sets the offset to the current position plus the specified number of bytes.
It is possible to seek beyond the end of an object, but it’s an error to seek before byte 0.
Data(i64)
Sets the offset to the current position plus the specified number of bytes, plus the distance to the next byte which is not in a hole.
If the offset is in a hole at the end of the file, the seek will produce
an NXIO
error.
Hole(i64)
Sets the offset to the current position plus the specified number of bytes, plus the distance to the next byte which is in a hole.
If there is no hole past the offset, it will be set to the end of the file i.e. there is an implicit hole at the end of any file.
