No, seek does what the clib fseek function does. The only reason fseek
starts with an "f" is because it belongs to the family of higher level file
operations that all start with "f" – fopen, fclose, etc.

Thanks James for pointing it out. It did work.
Is there a need for a C++ like function fseek in that case at all?

I believe that in seek(s, pos), pos is the absolute position from the start
of the stream, and in skip(s, offset), offset is relative to the current
position.
A "stream" can be any IO type, such as a file on disk or an IOBuffer in
memory.
