mseek - set current position in binary file.
The function mseek() sets the position of the next input or output operation on the stream fd. The new position is at the signed distance given by n bytes from the beginning, from the current position, or from the end of the file, according to the flag value which can be 'set', 'cur' or 'end'.
mseek() allows the file position indicator to be set beyond the end of the existing data in the file. If data is later written at this point, subsequent reads of data in the gap will return zero until data is actually written into the gap. mseek(), by itself, does not extend the size of the file.
file3='test3.bin' fd1= mopen(file3,'wb'); for i=1:10, mput(i,'d'); end mseek(0); mput(678,'d'); mseek(0,fd1,'end'); mput(932,'d'); mclose(fd1) fd1= mopen(file3,'rb'); res=mget(11,'d') res1=[1:11]; res1(1)=678;res1($)=932; if res1<>res ;write(%io(2),'Bug');end; mseek(0,fd1,'set'); // trying to read more than stored data res1=mget(100,'d',fd1); if res1<>res ;write(%io(2),'Bug');end; meof(fd1) mclearerr(fd1) mclose(fd1);
