Does anyone know the algorithms for lseek and fseek? 

I.E.  Specifically, which is faster and why:

    Sample #1:

	for (i=10000; i < 100000000; i+=10000) {
	   fseek(fp,i,0);
	      .
	      .
	}
	     
    Sample #2:

	for (i=10000; i < 100000000; i+=10000) {
	   fseek(fp,10000,1);
	      .
	      .
	}

Thanks in advance .. 

	-Jeff
