Sommaire

NAME

pread, pwrite - read from or write to a file descriptor at a given offset

SYNOPSIS

#define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500

#include <unistd.h>

ssize_t pread(int fd, void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

ssize_t pwrite(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

DESCRIPTION

pread() reads up to count bytes from file descriptor fd at offset offset (from the start of the file) into the buffer starting at buf. The file offset is not changed.

pwrite() writes up to count bytes from the buffer starting at buf to the file descriptor fd at offset offset. The file offset is not changed.

The file referenced by fd must be capable of seeking.

RETURN VALUE

On success, the number of bytes read or written is returned (zero indicates that nothing was written, in the case of pwrite(), or end of file, in the case of pread(), or -1 on error, in which case errno is set to indicate the error.

ERRORS

pread() can fail and set errno to any error specified for read(2) or lseek(2). pwrite() can fail and set errno to any error specified for write(2) or lseek(2).

VERSIONS

The pread() and pwrite() system calls were added to Linux in version 2.1.60; the entries in the i386 system call table were added in 2.1.69. C library support (including emulation using lseek(2) on older kernels without the system calls) was added in glibc 2.1.

CONFORMING TO

POSIX.1-2001.

Dans la mesure, me disais-je, où le langage rend compte de tout et où
tout ce qui, en principe, lui échappe (coutumes, rêves, cuisine,
vêtements, etc.) peut être ainsi annexé à son empire, c'est toujours, au
bout du compte, le sens qui triomphe.
Bien plus, tout ce qui, dans les oeuvres des hommes, nous a d'abord paru
barbare ou incohérent, bègue ou muet, obscur ou incompréhensible,
révoltant, voire tout à fait invisible ou tout à fait absent et comme
entaché du crime de Non-sens, finit par se ranger sur les étagères de
la Signification.
