Which, with library code, we are likely to see applications using. If you want to clean this up, then remove the dependence on _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE in the entire xfsprogs code base (e.g. it uses lseek64 everywhere which requires off64_t to be defined) and instead make it dependent on _FILEOFFSET_BITS=64. Then you can get rid of all the uses of off64_t completely, and we can break the build if _FILEOFFSET_BITS != 64 on inclusion of xfs.h.
