-.TH _llseek 2 2023-10-31 "Linux man-pages 6.7"
-.SH NAME
-_llseek \- reposition read/write file offset
-.SH LIBRARY
-Standard C library
-.RI ( libc ", " \-lc )
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.nf
-.BR "#include <sys/syscall.h>" " /* Definition of " SYS_* " constants */"
-.B #include <unistd.h>
-.P
-.BI "int syscall(SYS__llseek, unsigned int " fd ", unsigned long " offset_high ,
-.BI " unsigned long " offset_low ", loff_t *" result ,
-.BI " unsigned int " whence );
-.fi
-.P
-.IR Note :
-glibc provides no wrapper for
-.BR _llseek (),
-necessitating the use of
-.BR syscall (2).
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-Note: for information about the
-.BR llseek (3)
-library function, see
-.BR lseek64 (3).
-.P
-The
-.BR _llseek ()
-system call repositions the offset of the open file description associated
-with the file descriptor
-.I fd
-to the value
-.IP
-(offset_high << 32) | offset_low
-.P
-This new offset is a byte offset
-relative to the beginning of the file, the current file offset,
-or the end of the file, depending on whether
-.I whence
-is
-.BR SEEK_SET ,
-.BR SEEK_CUR ,
-or
-.BR SEEK_END ,
-respectively.
-.P
-The new file offset is returned in the argument
-.IR result .
-The type
-.I loff_t
-is a 64-bit signed type.
-.P
-This system call exists on various 32-bit platforms to support
-seeking to large file offsets.
-.SH RETURN VALUE
-Upon successful completion,
-.BR _llseek ()
-returns 0.
-Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
-.I errno
-is set to indicate the error.
-.SH ERRORS
-.TP
-.B EBADF
-.I fd
-is not an open file descriptor.
-.TP
-.B EFAULT
-Problem with copying results to user space.
-.TP
-.B EINVAL
-.I whence
-is invalid.
-.SH VERSIONS
-You probably want to use the
-.BR lseek (2)
-wrapper function instead.
-.SH STANDARDS
-Linux.
