NAME
       seek - change file offset

SYNOPSIS
       include "sys.m";
       sys := load Sys Sys->PATH;

       seek:  fn(fd: ref FD, off: big, start: int): big;

DESCRIPTION
       Seek sets the 64-bit offset for the file associated with fd as follows:

	      If start is Sys->SEEKSTART, the offset is set to off bytes.

	      If  start	 is  Sys->SEEKRELA,  the pointer is set to its current
	      location plus off.

	      If start is Sys->SEEKEND, the pointer is set to the size of  the
	      file plus off.

       The new file offset value is returned.

       Seeking	in  a  pipe is not allowed.  Seeking in a directory is allowed
       only if the new offset is zero.
