33 !!DESCRIPTION
34
35
36 The ___llseek__ function repositions the offset of the
37 file descriptor ''fd'' to ''(offset_high
38 '' bytes relative to the beginning of the file,
39 the current position in the file, or the end of the file,
40 depending on whether ''whence'' is __SEEK_SET__,
41 __SEEK_CUR__, or __SEEK_END__, respectively. It
42 returns the resulting file position in the argument
43 ''result''.
44 !!RETURN VALUE
45
46
47 Upon successful completion, ___llseek__ returns 0.
48 Otherwise, a value of -1 is returned and ''errno'' is set
49 to indicate the error.
