No need for a specialist here, the documentation is simply wrong, the
right entry would be 

  seek <value> [0|1|2]
          Seek to some place in the movie.
          0 is a relative seek of +/- <value> seconds.
          1 seek to <value> % in the movie.
          2 is a seek to an absolute position of <value> seconds.

if the second parameter is optional.  Is this correct?
