:mrdocs:

Seek to the specified `offset` relative to the beginning of the file. Return the resulting absolute position in the file relative to the beginning. Optionally specify `mode` which is ignored. Also note that seeks are always in terms of bytes on the device, meaning that on a Windows text file, seeking past a `\r ` sequence on the disk will count as two bytes, though if it is read in it will be a single ` ` byte.
