TCustomMemoryStream.Seek

Sets a new position in the stream.

Declaration

Source position: classesh.inc line 1204

public 
  function Seek(const Offset: Int64; Origin: TSeekOrigin) : Int64
               ;  Override;

Description

Seek overrides the abstract TStream.Seek method. It simply updates the internal stream position, and returns the new position.

Errors

No checking is done whether the new position is still a valid position, i.e. whether the position is still within the range 0..Size. Attempting a seek outside the valid memory range of the stream may result in an exception at the next read or write operation.
