sysseek
Synopsis
sysseek filehandle, offset, whence
Description
A variant of seek() that sets and gets the file’s system read/write
position using the lseek(2) system call. It’s the only reliable way to
seek before a sysread() or syswrite(). Returns the new position,
or undef on failure. Arguments are the same as for seek.
