llseek(3) Library Functions Manual llseek(3)
llseek - reposition read/write file offset
Standard C library (libc, -lc)
[[deprecated]] loff_t llseek(int fd, loff_t offset, int whence);
This is not the function you are interested in. Look at
_llseek(2) or lseek(2).
When users complained about data loss caused by a miscompilation
of e2fsck(8), glibc 2.1.3 added the link-time warning
"the `llseek´ function may be dangerous; use `lseek64´
instead."
Since glibc 2.28, this function symbol is no longer available to
newly linked applications.
_llseek(2), lseek(2), lseek64(3)
