afSeekFrame(3)
==============

NAME
----
afSeekFrame, afTellFrame - update or access the current sample frame
position for a track in an audio file

SYNOPSIS
--------
  #include <audiofile.h>

  AFframecount afSeekFrame(AFfilehandle file, int track,
      AFframecount frameOffset);

  AFframecount afTellFrame(AFfilehandle file, int track);

PARAMETERS
----------
'file' is a valid audio file handle created by linkaf:afOpenFile[3].

'track' identifies an audio track within the file. `track` is always
`AF_DEFAULT_TRACK` for all currently supported audio file formats.

'frameOffset' is a sample frame offset. Valid sample frame offsets must
be greater than or equal to zero and strictly less than the number of
sample frames contained within the specified audio track. The special
value `-1` is also allowed.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
`afSeekFrame` moves the logical file position for a specified audio
track to a desired sample frame location. If `frameOffset` is `-1`,
`afSeekFrame` will not modify the current file offset and will instead
return the current file position.

`afTellFrame` returns current file position in sample frames.

RETURN VALUE
------------
On success, `afSeekFrame` and `afTellFrame` will return the current file
position as measured in sample frames from the start of the audio
track. On failure, `afSeekFrame` and `afTellFrame` will return the value
`-1`.

ERRORS
------
The following errors can be generated by `afSeekFrame` or `afTellFrame`:

`AF_BAD_FILEHANDLE`:: `file` does not represent a valid file handle.
`AF_BAD_TRACK`:: `track` does not identify a valid track.
`AF_BAD_LSEEK`:: A call to `lseek` failed.
