method Deno.FsFile.prototype.seekSync
FsFile.prototype.seekSync(offset: number | bigint,whence: SeekMode,): number
Synchronously seek to the given offset
under mode given by whence
.
The new position within the resource (bytes from the start) is returned.
using file = Deno.openSync( "hello.txt", { read: true, write: true, truncate: true, create: true }, ); file.writeSync(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello world")); // advance cursor 6 bytes const cursorPosition = file.seekSync(6, Deno.SeekMode.Start); console.log(cursorPosition); // 6 const buf = new Uint8Array(100); file.readSync(buf); console.log(new TextDecoder().decode(buf)); // "world"
The seek modes work as follows:
// Given file.rid pointing to file with "Hello world", which is 11 bytes long: using file = Deno.openSync( "hello.txt", { read: true, write: true, truncate: true, create: true }, ); file.writeSync(new TextEncoder().encode("Hello world")); // Seek 6 bytes from the start of the file console.log(file.seekSync(6, Deno.SeekMode.Start)); // "6" // Seek 2 more bytes from the current position console.log(file.seekSync(2, Deno.SeekMode.Current)); // "8" // Seek backwards 2 bytes from the end of the file console.log(file.seekSync(-2, Deno.SeekMode.End)); // "9" (i.e. 11-2)
