+The read or write pointer for the open file with the path
+number, "pn", is positioned by lseek to the specified place in
+the file. The "type" indicates from where "position" is to be

+current location, or if 2, from the end of the file.

+Seeking to a location beyond the end of a file open for

+which appears to be filled with zeros from the previous end to

+The argument "position" <emphasis>must</emphasis> be a long integer. Constants
+should be explicitly made long by appending an "l", as above,
