/**
* GSeekable:
*
* `GSeekable` is implemented by streams (implementations of
* [class@Gio.InputStream] or [class@Gio.OutputStream]) that support seeking.
*
* Seekable streams largely fall into two categories: resizable and
* fixed-size.
*
* `GSeekable` on fixed-sized streams is approximately the same as POSIX
* [`lseek()`](man:lseek(2)) on a block device (for example: attempting to seek
* past the end of the device is an error). Fixed streams typically cannot be
* truncated.
*
* `GSeekable` on resizable streams is approximately the same as POSIX
* [`lseek()`](man:lseek(2)) on a normal file. Seeking past the end and writing
* data will usually cause the stream to resize by introducing zero bytes.
