  29  * @include: gio/gio.h
  30  * @see_also: #GInputStream, #GOutputStream
  31  *
  32  * #GSeekable is implemented by streams (implementations of
  33  * #GInputStream or #GOutputStream) that support seeking.
  34  *
  35  * Seekable streams largely fall into two categories: resizable and
  36  * fixed-size.
  37  *
  38  * #GSeekable on fixed-sized streams is approximately the same as POSIX
  39  * lseek() on a block device (for example: attmepting to seek past the
  40  * end of the device is an error).  Fixed streams typically cannot be
  41  * truncated.
  42  *
  43  * #GSeekable on resizable streams is approximately the same as POSIX
  44  * lseek() on a normal file.  Seeking past the end and writing data will
  45  * usually cause the stream to resize by introducing zero bytes.
