1
#
Each seek member function begins execution by constructing an object of class sentry.
It returns by destroying the sentry object.
🔗
pos_type tellp();
2
#
Returns: If fail() != false, returns pos_­type(-1) to indicate failure.
Otherwise, returns rdbuf()->​pubseekoff(​0, cur, out).
🔗
basic_ostream<charT, traits>& seekp(pos_type pos);
3
#
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekpos(pos, ios_­base​::​out).
In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​failure).
4
#
Returns: *this.
🔗
basic_ostream<charT, traits>& seekp(off_type off, ios_base::seekdir dir);
5
#
Effects: If fail() != true, executes rdbuf()->pubseekoff(off, dir, ios_­base​::​out).
In case of failure, the function calls setstate(failbit) (which may throw ios_­base​::​failure).
6
#
Returns: *this.
