NAME
lseek64 - reposition 64-bit read/write file offsetSYNOPSIS
#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE /* See feature_test_macros(7) */DESCRIPTION
The lseek(2) family of functions reposition the offset of the open file associated with the file descriptor fd to offset bytes relative to the start, current position, or end of the file, when whence has the value SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END, respectively.For more details, return value, and errors, see lseek(2).
Four interfaces are available: lseek(2), lseek64(), llseek(2), and the raw system call _llseek(2).
lseek
Prototype:off_t lseek(int fd , off_t offset , int whence );
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
in which case it is a 64-bit signed type.
lseek64
Prototype:off64_t lseek64(int fd , off64_t offset , int whence );
#define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
The function lseek64() is available since glibc 2.1, and is defined to be an alias for llseek().
llseek
Prototype:loff_t llseek(int fd , loff_t offset , int whence );
"the `llseek´ function may be dangerous; use `lseek64´ instead."
_llseek
All the above functions are implemented in terms of this system call. The prototype is:int _llseek(int fd , off_t offset_hi , off_t offset_lo ,
loff_t * result , int whence );
