Glk: seeking past end of writable file streams #17

Open curiousdannii opened 1 month ago

curiousdannii commented 1 month ago

Section 5.4 says:

It is illegal to specify a position before the beginning or after the end of the file.

But the libc implementations do allow this for writeable files, and Bocfel depends on it.

I'm not sure if seekmode_End with positive pos is de facto supported, Bocfel doesn't attempt it.
