When using System.IO.FileStream, I write 8 bytes, then seek to the start
of the file, does the 8 bytes get flushed on seek and the buffer become a
readbuffer at that point instead of being a write buffer?
If the filestream is opened for write access then it still keeps its write
access.
If you seek to the beginning after writing 8 bytes, and write some more
bytes, you overwrite the original bytes.
I don't believe there's any flush occurring on a seek...whether any buffers
need to be flushed would depend on the next read or write operation.
