    (absolute file positioning); other values are \code{1} (seek
    relative to the current position) and \code{2} (seek relative to the
!   file's end).  There is no return value.  Note that if the file is
!   opened for appending (mode \code{'a'} or \code{'a+'}), any
!   \method{seek()} operations will be undone at the next write.  If the
!   file is only opened for writing in append mode (mode \code{'a'}),
!   this method is essentially a no-op, but it remains useful for files
!   opened in append mode with reading enabled (mode \code{'a+'}).
