Man page does not say that not only file offset is not changed, but that file offset is not ever used. So, race condition impossible when one process/thread changes offset, and other is calling pread/pwrite. I mean that we must say that pread/pwrite is not just combination of seek+read/write. The same is described in pselect manpage, saying that pselect is not just combination of setprocmask+select. -- Segmentation fault -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-man" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
