Navigating to an Offset

To seek to a byte offset in the current buffer, from the main menu click Navigate

Go to Offset, or use

the gui_seek command. This function is the same as the C lseek function. However, if you have opened
the file with tab expansion, the seek position on disk may be different.

When the Seek dialog appears, enter the position to seek for. You may specify a C syntax expression. In
addition, you may prefix the expression with a plus or minus sign (+ or -) to specify a relative seek posi-
tion.

Some examples are:

0x10+10 - Seek to offset 26

+8+4 - Seek to current offset + 12

-8+4 - Seek to current offset - 12

Select the Decimal option to enter the seek position in decimal number format. Select the Hex option to
enter the seek position in hexadecimal number format. You can type an "x" as the first character in the
Position to seek for text box and this option will automatically be selected.
