Replying to haiqu:
Great, so can they be mapped to lseek() in unistd.h then?
No, portable applications should just use lseek() instead of the non-portable functions.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
BeOS's off_t has been 64 bit forever, so lseek() does fully suffice. Neither lseek64() nor llseek() are portable.
