       _llseek - reposition read/write file offset

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       #include <unistd.h>

       #include <linux/unistd.h>

       _syscall5(int,  _llseek, uint, fd, ulong, hi, ulong, lo, loff_t *, res,
       uint, wh);

       int _llseek(unsigned int fd, unsigned long offset_high,	unsigned  long
       offset_low, loff_t *result, unsigned int whence);

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       The  _llseek  function repositions the offset of the file descriptor fd
       to (offset_high<<32) | offset_low bytes relative to  the  beginning  of
       the  file,  the	current  position in the file, or the end of the file,
       depending on whether whence is SEEK_SET, SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END, respectively.
	It returns the resulting file position in the argument result.

RETURN VALUE    [Toc]    [Back]

       Upon successful completion, _llseek returns 0. Otherwise, a value of -1
       is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS    [Toc]    [Back]

       EBADF  fd is not an open file descriptor.

       EINVAL whence is invalid.
