What's this?

seek(p1, p2 = v2) public

Seeks to a given offset amount in the stream according to the value of whence (see IO#seek).

static VALUE
strio_seek(int argc, VALUE *argv, VALUE self)
{
    VALUE whence;
    struct StringIO *ptr = StringIO(self);
    long offset;

    rb_scan_args(argc, argv, "11", NULL, &whence);
    offset = NUM2LONG(argv[0]);
    if (CLOSED(ptr)) {
        rb_raise(rb_eIOError, "closed stream");
    }
    switch (NIL_P(whence) ? 0 : NUM2LONG(whence)) {
      case 0:
        break;
      case 1:
        offset += ptr->pos;
        break;
      case 2:
        offset += RSTRING_LEN(ptr->string);
        break;
      default:
        error_inval("invalid whence");
    }
    if (offset < 0) {
        error_inval(0);
    }
    ptr->pos = offset;
    return INT2FIX(0);
}
