<div class="markdown level1 summary"><p>Moves the current position for the next read or write operation to
offset. The offset is measured from the beginning of the stream. The
offset may be set beyond the end of the file, if in write mode. Setting
the offset beyond the end of the file does not change the file
length. The file length will change only by writing after the offset
has been set beyond the end of the file.</p>
