  POSIX specification:@* @url{https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9799919799/functions/fseek.html}
  
  Gnulib module: fseek
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function mistakenly succeeds on pipes on some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 14.
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function does not set @code{errno}
  upon failure.
  @item
  On platforms where @code{long} is a 32-bit type, @code{fseek} does not work
  correctly with files 2 GiB and larger, even when the @code{AC_SYS_LARGEFILE}
  macro is used.  The fix is to use @code{fseeko} instead.
  @end itemize
