Sender: owner-caml-list@pauillac.inria.fr Precedence: bulk There appears to be no "tell" function on pervasives streams or Unix file descriptors. Is there a reason for this? The combination of that plus the lack of a pervasives relative seek makes it hard to move around in files without keeping parallel information.
