SYNOPSIS

D0 A0 D2 D3
SLFLAG SL_SeekFile(SLFHANDLE, LONG, LONG);
FUNCTION
Sets the current position for reading and writing data to/from a
file. You cannot seek past the end of a file.
The offset used for FSEEK_BEGINNING must be positive. The offset used
for FSEEK_END must be negative.
This call does not invalidate the i/o buffer if the seek is within the
buffer. If the seeks falls outside the current buffer then the next
read will cause a full buffer reload.
INPUTS
filehandle
offest - how many bytes to move relative to the mode.
mode - one of: FSEEK_BEGINNING, FSEEK_CURRENT, FSEEK_END.
this sets the relativity of the offset.
RESULTS
success - TRUE if the seek succeded.
FALSE if the call failed.
NOTE
On the Amiga only small forward relative seeks will not invalidate the
buffer, all others will.
