ls_rlseek

Performs a seek operation on a file on a remote host.

This routine performs operations on files located on remote hosts. This call corresponds to the UNIX lseek() system calls.

ls_rlseek performs a read operation on an opened file that is referenced by rfd. The file has been previously opened using ls_ropen.

Either the RES must be running at the remote host to service any remote file operation or rcp() be available.

ls_initrex must be called before calling any remote file operation.

This remote file operation makes use of a Remote File Server on the remote host. When this RFS shuts down, its status will be reported to its client. The client should ignore this status.
