Possibly some underlying file systems allow negative values, and Qt did not want to adapt to prevent negative values. In other words, it depends on the underlying implementation.
See discussions about the off_t type in unix. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lseek.html " A negative file offset may be valid for some devices in some implementations." _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
