       Calls
       
        
         seekpos
         
          (

       of the most derived class.
      
      
       
        2)
       
       The base class version of this function has no effect. The derived classes may override this function to allow absolute positioning of the position indicator.
      
      Parameters
| pos | - | absolute position to set the position indicator to | ||||||
| which | - | defines which of the input and/or output sequences to affect. It can be one or a combination of the following constants:

Return value
       
        1)
       
       The return value of
       
        
         seekpos
         
          (
         
         pos, which

       .
      
      
       
        2)
       
       The resulting absolute position as defined by the position indicator. The base class version returns
       
        
         pos_type
