---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006784) lacos (reporter) - 2024-05-19 10:20 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1830#c6784 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The proposed update entirely clarifies the requirement for write(), however I think it applies less to pwrite() than before, because pwrite() does not change the file offset at all. (In retrospect, I suspect the original "data transfer [...] past the offset maximum" language may have specifically aimed at covering pwrite() at the same time as write().) Can we perhaps use semi-formal syntax, such as: "For regular files, no data transfer shall occur such that, using zero-based byte offsets, /byte[offmax]/ of the file, or any byte thereafter, be overwritten, where offmax is the offset maximum established in the open file description associated with fildes."
