# php_stream_make_seekable

php_stream_make_seekable -- Convert a stream into a stream is seekable

## Description

int php_stream_make_seekable ( php_stream * origstream, php_stream ** newstream, int flags )

php_stream_make_seekable() checks if `origstream` is seekable. If it is not, it will copy the data into a new temporary stream. If successful, `newstream` is always set to the stream that is valid to use, even if the original stream was seekable.

`flags` allows you to specify your preference for the seekable stream that is returned: use `PHP_STREAM_NO_PREFERENCE` to use the default seekable stream (which uses a dynamically expanding memory buffer, but switches to temporary file backed storage when the stream size becomes large), or use `PHP_STREAM_PREFER_STDIO` to use "regular" temporary file backed storage.

Tabela 44-1. php_stream_make_seekable() return values

Value | Meaning
--- | ---
PHP_STREAM_UNCHANGED | Original stream was seekable anyway. `newstream` is set to the value of `origstream`.
PHP_STREAM_RELEASED | Original stream was not seekable and has been released. `newstream` is set to the new seekable stream. You should not access `origstream` anymore.
PHP_STREAM_FAILED | An error occurred while attempting conversion. `newstream` is set to NULL; `origstream` is still valid.
PHP_STREAM_CRITICAL | An error occurred while attempting conversion that has left `origstream` in an indeterminate state. `newstream` is set to NULL and it is highly recommended that you close `origstream`.

> Nota: If you need to seek and write to the stream, it does not make sense to use this function, because the stream it returns is not guaranteed to be bound to the same resource as the original stream.

> Nota: If you only need to seek forwards, there is no need to call this function, as the streams API will emulate forward seeks when the whence parameter is `SEEK_CUR`.

> Nota: If `origstream` is network based, this function will block until the whole contents have been downloaded.

> Nota: NEVER call this function with an `origstream` that is reference by a file pointer in a PHP script! This function may cause the underlying stream to be closed which could cause a crash when the script next accesses the file pointer!

> Nota: In many cases, this function can only succeed when `origstream` is a newly opened stream with no data buffered in the stream layer. For that reason, and because this function is complicated to use correctly, it is recommended that you use php_stream_open_wrapper() and pass in `PHP_STREAM_MUST_SEEK` in your options instead of calling this function directly.
