The current implementation never sets <parameter>whence</parameter> to

Upon success,
<methodname>streamWrapper::stream_tell</methodname> is called directly after
calling <methodname>streamWrapper::stream_seek</methodname>. If
<methodname>streamWrapper::stream_tell</methodname> fails, the return
value to the caller function will be set to &false;
</para>

<note>
<para>
Not all seeks operations on the stream will result in this function being
called. PHP streams have read buffering enabled by default (see also
<function>stream_set_read_buffer</function>) and seeking may be done by
merely moving the buffer pointer.
