|

|
|
Returns an integer string giving the current access position in
|
||
|
|
<I>channelId</I>. This value returned is a byte offset that can be passed to
|
||
|
|
<B><A HREF="../TkCmd/seek.htm">seek</A></B> in order to set the channel to a particular position. Note
|
||
|
|
that this value is in terms of bytes, not characters like <B><A HREF="../TkCmd/read.htm">read</A></B>.
|
||
|
|
The value returned is -1 for channels that do not support
|
||
|
|
seeking.
