LLSEEK(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                 LLSEEK(2)
NAME
       _llseek - reposition read/write file offset
SYNOPSIS
       #include <sys/types.h>
       #include <unistd.h>
       int _llseek(unsigned int fd, unsigned long offset_high,
                   unsigned long offset_low, loff_t *result,
                   unsigned int whence);
       Note: There is no glibc wrapper for this system call; see NOTES.
DESCRIPTION
       The  _llseek()  system  call  repositions  the  offset of the open file
       description associated with the file descriptor fd to (offset_high<<32)
       |  offset_low  bytes relative to the beginning of the file, the current
       file offset, or the end of the file, depending  on  whether  whence  is
       SEEK_SET,  SEEK_CUR, or SEEK_END, respectively.  It returns the result-
       ing file position in the argument result.
       This system call exists on various 32-bit platforms to support  seeking
       to large file offsets.
RETURN VALUE
       Upon successful completion, _llseek() returns 0.  Otherwise, a value of
       -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
ERRORS
       EBADF  fd is not an open file descriptor.
       EFAULT Problem with copying results to user space.
       EINVAL whence is invalid.
CONFORMING TO
       This function is Linux-specific, and should not  be  used  in  programs
       intended to be portable.
NOTES
       Glibc  does  not  provide a wrapper for this system call.  To invoke it
       directly, use syscall(2).   However,  you  probably  want  to  use  the
       lseek(2) wrapper function instead.
