Methods Documentation

close(self)

temporary_offset(self, offset=None, whence=0)

Context manager for temporarily seeking to another file position.

To be used as part of a with statement:

with fh_raw.temporary_offset() [as fh_raw]:
    with-block

On exiting the with-block, the file pointer is moved back to its original position. As a convenience, one can pass on the offset to seek to when entering the context manager. Parameters are as for io.IOBase.seek().
