## NAME

SDL\_IOWhence - Possible **whence** values for  **SDL\_IOStream**\
  seeking.

Defined in SDL3/SDL\_iostream.h

## SYNOPSIS

```
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"
```

**typedef enum SDL\_IOWhence** **{**     **SDL\_IO\_SEEK\_SET,  /\*\*\< Seek from the beginning of data \*/**     **SDL\_IO\_SEEK\_CUR,  /\*\*\< Seek relative to current read point \*/**     **SDL\_IO\_SEEK\_END   /\*\*\< Seek relative to the end of data \*/** **} SDL\_IOWhence;**

## DESCRIPTION

These map to the same "whence" concept that **fseek** or **lseek** use in the standard C runtime.
