seekdir

See the current Perl documentation for seekdir.

Here is our local, out-dated (pre-5.6) version:


seekdir - reposition directory pointer



seekdir DIRHANDLE,POS



Sets the current position for the readdir() routine on DIRHANDLE. POS must be a value returned by telldir(). Has the same caveats about possible directory compaction as the corresponding system library routine.
