'''''Note''': the length and position properties are used to implement random access streams traditionally implemented using the tell()/seek()/truncate() protocol. The rationale for departing from that nomenclature is that this puts stream more in line with other core objects such as String and Array. Also, random access streams are not often used in day-to-day programming, so these properties may most commonly be used for the in-memory ByteBuffer and StringBuffer streams defined below, where they should fit nicely.'' | '''''Note''': the length and position properties are used to implement random access streams traditionally implemented using the tell()/seek()/truncate() protocol.

:The position within the stream at which the next read or write operation occurs, in bytes. This property is only defined for seekable streams. Setting it to a new value moves the stream's positon to the given byte offset. | :The position within the stream at which the next read or write operation occurs, in bytes.
