Hi ,
I was trying to find the size of a raw partition
using the below program , but the output is not
correct. Can anybody suggest how to rectify this
program.
Is it that "lseek" should be used only on regular
files and not special files ?Is there a proc entry
which reflects the currently bound raw devices ?
I'am aware that "raw -qa" gives the complete list
of raw devices , but I wanted to know if there is
any other method to do so .
PROGRAM :-
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <unistd.h>
main()
{
int fd ;
int start, end ;
fd=open( "/dev/raw/raw1", O_RDONLY );
start=lseek( fd, 0, SEEK_SET );
printf("The Start pt size is %d \n", start);
end=lseek( fd, 0, SEEK_END );
printf("The End pt size is %d \n", end);
}
OUTPUT :-
The Start pt size is 0
The End pt size is 0
Cheers!
