   pwrite64    ( 2 )

чтение или запись в файловый дескриптор по заданному смещению (read from or write to a file descriptor at a given offset)

Имя (Name)

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

Синопсис (Synopsis)

#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);

Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):

pread(), pwrite(): _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500 || /* Since glibc 2.12: */ _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200809L


Описание (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.


Возвращаемое значение (Return value)

On success, pread() returns the number of bytes read (a return of
       zero indicates end of file) and pwrite() returns the number of
       bytes written.

Note that it is not an error for a successful call to transfer fewer bytes than requested (see read(2) and write(2)).

On error, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.


Ошибки (Error)

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).

Версии (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.

Стандарты (Conforming to)

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008.

Примечание (Note)

The pread() and pwrite() system calls are especially useful in
       multithreaded applications.  They allow multiple threads to
       perform I/O on the same file descriptor without being affected by
       changes to the file offset by other threads.

C library/kernel differences On Linux, the underlying system calls were renamed in kernel 2.6: pread() became pread64(), and pwrite() became pwrite64(). The system call numbers remained the same. The glibc pread() and pwrite() wrapper functions transparently deal with the change.

On some 32-bit architectures, the calling signature for these system calls differ, for the reasons described in syscall(2).


Ошибки (баги) (Bugs)

POSIX requires that opening a file with the O_APPEND flag should
       have no effect on the location at which pwrite() writes data.
       However, on Linux, if a file is opened with O_APPEND, pwrite()
       appends data to the end of the file, regardless of the value of
       offset.
