The ifx_lo_seek() function

The ifx_lo_seek() function sets the file position for the next read or write operation on an open smart large object.

Syntax

ifx_lo_seek(lofd, offset, whence, seek_pos)

The function accepts the following arguments.


Argument	Type	Use	Description
lofd	SQL_INTEGER	Input	Smart-large-object file descriptor
offset	SQL_BIGINT	Input	Offset from the starting seek position, in bytes. Instead of using the default HCL OneDB™ ODBC Driver C data type of SQL_C_CHAR for offset, use SQL_C_LONG or SQL_C_SHORT.
whence	SQL_INTEGER	Input	Starting seek position. The possible values are: LO_SEEK_CUR The current seek position in the smart large object LO_SEEK_END The end of the smart large object LO_SEEK_SET The start of the smart large object
seek_pos	SQL_BIGINT	I/O	New seek position. Instead of using the default HCL OneDB ODBC Driver C data type of SQL_C_CHAR for seek_pos, use SQL_C_LONG. For more information, see The SQL_BIGINT data type.

The ifx_lo_seek() function sets the seek position of lofd to the position that the offset and whence arguments indicate.
