I was wondering --- if fpos_t and off_t are identical sizeof, and fpos_t can do shift << or >>, that means fpos_t is also integral like off_t. Can I then assume they are the same? > But you can simulate a long fseeko() by calling fseek() multiple times, so > it should be possible to write a replacement that works on all systems. Yes, but I can't simulate ftello, so I then can't do SEEK_CUR. and if I can't duplicate the entire API, I don't want to try. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
