 * @short_description: Stream seeking interface
 * @include: gio/gio.h
 * @see_also: #GInputStream, #GOutputStream
 *
 * #GSeekable is implemented by streams (implementations of
 * #GInputStream or #GOutputStream) that support seeking.
 *
 * Seekable streams largely fall into two categories: resizable and
 * fixed-size.
 *
 * #GSeekable on fixed-sized streams is approximately the same as POSIX
 * lseek() on a block device (for example: attempting to seek past the
 * end of the device is an error).  Fixed streams typically cannot be
 * truncated.
 *
 * #GSeekable on resizable streams is approximately the same as POSIX
 * lseek() on a normal file.  Seeking past the end and writing data will
 * usually cause the stream to resize by introducing zero bytes.

 * @error: a #GError location to store the error occurring, or %NULL to
 * ignore.
 *
 * Seeks in the stream by the given @offset, modified by @type.
 *
 * Attempting to seek past the end of the stream will have different
 * results depending on if the stream is fixed-sized or resizable.  If
 * the stream is resizable then seeking past the end and then writing
 * will result in zeros filling the empty space.  Seeking past the end
 * of a resizable stream and reading will result in EOF.  Seeking past
 * the end of a fixed-sized stream will fail.
 *
 * Any operation that would result in a negative offset will fail.
 *
 * If @cancellable is not %NULL, then the operation can be cancelled by
 * triggering the cancellable object from another thread. If the operation
 * was cancelled, the error %G_IO_ERROR_CANCELLED will be returned. 
 * 
 * Returns: %TRUE if successful. If an error
 *     has occurred, this function will return %FALSE and set @error
 *     appropriately if present.
