Ionic Zip Library v1.9.1.6 Seek Method (offset, origin)

This method seeks in the underlying stream.

Declaration Syntax

Visual Basic

Visual C++

public override long Seek(
	long offset,
	SeekOrigin origin
)

Public Overrides Function Seek ( _
	offset As Long, _
	origin As SeekOrigin _
) As Long

public:
virtual long long Seek(
	long long offset, 
	SeekOrigin origin
) override

Parameters

offset (Int64): the offset point to seek to

origin (SeekOrigin): the reference point from which to seek

Return Value

The new position

Remarks

Call this method if you want to seek around within the zip file for random access.

Applications can intermix calls to Seek() with calls to GetNextEntry()()()(). After a call to Seek(), GetNextEntry() will get the next ZipEntry that falls after the current position in the input stream. You're on your own for finding out just where to seek in the stream, to get to the various entries.
