package IO::Seekable;
=head1 NAME
IO::Seekable - supply seek based methods for I/O objects
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use IO::Seekable;
package IO::Something;
@ISA = qw(IO::Seekable);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<IO::Seekable> does not have a constuctor of its own as is intended to
be inherited by other C<IO::Handle> based objects. It provides methods
which allow seeking of the file descriptors.
If the C functions fgetpos() and fsetpos() are available, then
C<IO::File::getpos> returns an opaque value that represents the
current position of the IO::File, and C<IO::File::setpos> uses
that value to return to a previously visited position.
See L<perlfunc> for complete descriptions of each of the following
supported C<IO::Seekable> methods, which are just front ends for the
corresponding built-in functions:
seek
tell
