pg_lo_seek Seeks position within a large object

Description

pg_lo_seek(PgSql\Lob $lob, int $offset, int $whence = SEEK_CUR): bool

pg_lo_seek() seeks a position within an PgSql\Lob instance.

To use the large object interface, it is necessary to enclose it within a transaction block.

Parameters

lob

An PgSql\Lob instance, returned by pg_lo_open().

offset

The number of bytes to seek.

whence

One of the constants PGSQL_SEEK_SET (seek from object start), PGSQL_SEEK_CUR (seek from current position) or PGSQL_SEEK_END (seek from object end) .

Return Values

Returns true on success or false on failure.

Changelog

Version Description
8.1.0 The lob parameter expects an PgSql\Lob instance now; previously, a resource was expected.
