  struct data *d = (struct data *)clientp;
  lseek(d->our_fd, offset, origin);
  return CURL_SEEKFUNC_OK;
}
int main(void)
{
  struct data seek_data;
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION, seek_cb);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SEEKDATA, &seek_data);
  }
}
