PetscBinarySeek#
Moves the file pointer on a PETSc binary file.
Synopsis#
PetscErrorCode PetscBinarySeek(int fd, off_t off, PetscBinarySeekType whence, off_t *offset)
Not Collective
Input Parameters#
fd - the file
off - number of bytes to move. Use
PETSC_BINARY_INT_SIZE
,PETSC_BINARY_SCALAR_SIZE
, etc. in your calculation rather than sizeof() to compute byte lengths.whence - if
PETSC_BINARY_SEEK_SET
then off is an absolute location in the file ifPETSC_BINARY_SEEK_CUR
then off is an offset from the current location ifPETSC_BINARY_SEEK_END
then off is an offset from the end of file
Output Parameter#
offset - new offset in file
Note#
Integers are stored on the file as 32 long, regardless of whether
they are stored in the machine as 32 or 64, this means the same
binary file may be read on any machine. Hence you CANNOT use sizeof()
to determine the offset or location.
