| |

| <dl> |
| <dt><em>Description</em>:<dd>Moves <var>UNIT</var> to the specified <var>OFFSET</var>. If <var>WHENCE</var> |
| is set to 0, the <var>OFFSET</var> is taken as an absolute value <code>SEEK_SET</code>, |
| if set to 1, <var>OFFSET</var> is taken to be relative to the current position |
| <code>SEEK_CUR</code>, and if set to 2 relative to the end of the file <code>SEEK_END</code>. |
| On error, <var>STATUS</var> is set to a nonzero value. If <var>STATUS</var> the seek |
| fails silently. |
| |
| <p>This intrinsic routine is not fully backwards compatible with <samp><span class="command">g77</span></samp>. |
| In <samp><span class="command">g77</span></samp>, the <code>FSEEK</code> takes a statement label instead of a |
| <var>STATUS</var> variable. If FSEEK is used in old code, change |
| <pre class="smallexample"> CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, *label) |
| </pre> |
| <p>to |
| <pre class="smallexample"> INTEGER :: status |
| CALL FSEEK(UNIT, OFFSET, WHENCE, status) |
| IF (status /= 0) GOTO label |
| </pre> |
| <p>Please note that GNU Fortran provides the Fortran 2003 Stream facility. |
| Programmers should consider the use of new stream IO feature in new code |
| for future portability. See also <a href="Fortran-2003-status.html#Fortran-2003-status">Fortran 2003 status</a>. |
