---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006785) lacos (reporter) - 2024-05-19 10:26 https://www.austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=1830#c6785 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- My reason for covering pwrite() as well is the following: an application may maintain a separate off_t variable for recording the exclusive end offset of a successful pwrite() call -- effectively the same offset to which an equivalent write() call would set the file offset inside the underlying open file description. Given that the spec intends to prevent the file offset inside the open file description from overflowing upon a write(), the same guarantee should be extended to an application that captures the same "exclusive end of successful data transfer" concept in an off_t object.
