3.2.133 seekdir

seekdir DIRHANDLE, POS

This function sets the current position for the readdir routine on DIRHANDLE. POS must be a value returned by telldir. This function has the same caveats about possible directory compaction as the corresponding system library routine. The function may not be implemented everywhere that readdir is. It's certainly not implemented where readdir isn't.
