The value of \fIloc\fR should have been returned from an earlier call to \fBtelldir\fR(3C). The new position reverts to the one associated with the directory stream when \fBtelldir()\fR was performed. .sp .LP If the value of \fIloc\fR was not obtained from an earlier call to \fBtelldir()\fR or if a call to \fBrewinddir\fR(3C) occurred between the call to \fBtelldir\fR \fB()\fR and the call to \fBseekdir()\fR, the results of subsequent calls to \fBreaddir()\fR are unspecified. .SH RETURN VALUES .sp .LP The \fBseekdir()\fR function returns no value. .SH ERRORS .sp .LP No errors are defined. .SH ATTRIBUTES .sp .LP See \fBattributes\fR(5) for descriptions of the following attributes: .sp .sp .TS tab() box; cw(2.75i) |cw(2.75i) lw(2.75i) |lw(2.75i) .
