Description

Moves to a specified position in the stream.

Use Seek to set the position in the stream to which the TBinaryWriter instance writes.

Offset represents the offset and the Origin parameter indicates how to interpret the Offset parameter. Origin should be one of the following values:

Value	Meaning
soBeginning	Offset is from the beginning of the resource. Seek moves to the position Offset. Offset must be >= 0.
soCurrent	Offset is from the current position in the resource. Seek moves to the current position + Offset.
soEnd	Offset is from the end of the resource. Offset must be <= 0 to indicate a number of bytes before the end of the file.

The method returns the new position in the stream.
