Comment (by bonefish):
In practice seeking back cannot fail. The arguments (fFile, oldPosition)
are known to be valid. If someone else concurrently truncates or removes
the file, `fseeko()` will still succeed. The only possible error situation
is, when the file is closed concurrently. However, in this case it is
irrelevant that the seek operation failed, since it isn't possible to do
any further reads/writes anyway.
Since that would involve a programming error on the API user's side,
calling `debugger()` or logging the error would be an option. I'd still
return success, though.
