istream::seekg
istream& seekg( streampos pos );
istream& seekg( streamoff off**, ios::seek_dir** dir );
Parameters
pos
The new position value; streampos is a typedef equivalent to long.
off
The new offset value; streamoff is a typedef equivalent to long.
dir
The seek direction. Must be one of the following enumerators:
ios::beg Seek from the beginning of the stream.
ios::cur Seek from the current position in the stream.
ios::end Seek from the end of the stream.
Remarks
Changes the get pointer for the stream. Not all derived classes of istream need support positioning; it is most often used with file-based streams.
