interpreted:

<para>
<constant>SEEK_SET</constant> (default) - specifies that
<parameter>pos</parameter> is specified from the beginning of the
file.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<constant>SEEK_CUR</constant> - Specifies that
<parameter>pos</parameter> is a count of characters from the current
file position. This count may be positive or negative.
</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>
<constant>SEEK_END</constant> - Specifies that
<parameter>pos</parameter> is a count of characters from the end of
the file. A negative count specifies a position within the current
extent of the file; a positive count specifies a position past the
current end. If you set the position past the current end, and
actually write data, you will extend the file with zeros up to that
position.
