  A byte offset relative to origin.

  • If offset is negative, the new position precedes the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset.

  • If offset is zero, the new position is the position specified by origin.

  • If offset is positive, the new position follows the position specified by origin by the number of bytes specified by offset.

• origin

  A value of type SeekOrigin indicating the reference point used to obtain the new position.

Return Value
