BUGS
All of the APIs described in this man page are not safe when
compiling a program using the LFS APIs (e.g., when compiling
with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64). This means these APIs are unus‐
able on current 32-bit systems, since those systems are nor‐
mally built with -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
Okay?
Cheers,
Michael
