Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.39-1 telldir(3)'s SYNOPSIS section describes telldir returns off_t as follows.
off_t telldir(DIR *dir); But Single Unix Specification version 3 describes it returns long. SUSv3: long telldir(DIR *dirp); Also the header file declare it returns long. % grep telldir /usr/include/dirent.h extern long int telldir (DIR *__dirp) __THROW __nonnull ((1)); seekdir(3) has same issue. SYNOPSIS uses off_t. void seekdir(DIR *dir, off_t offset); But SUSv3 and the header file uses long. SUSv3: void seekdir(DIR *dirp, long loc); % grep seekdir /usr/include/dirent.h extern void seekdir (DIR *__dirp, long int __pos) __THROW __nonnull ((1)); So I think off_t in telldir(3) and seekdir(3) is a bug and should be replaced by long. -- Tanaka Akira -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
