Стандарты (Conforming to)

POSIX.1-2001, POSIX.1-2008, 4.3BSD.

Примечание (Note)

In glibc up to version 2.1.1, the return type of telldir() was
       off_t.  POSIX.1-2001 specifies long, and this is the type used
       since glibc 2.1.2.

In early filesystems, the value returned by telldir() was a simple file offset within a directory. Modern filesystems use tree or hash structures, rather than flat tables, to represent directories. On such filesystems, the value returned by telldir() (and used internally by readdir(3)) is a "cookie" that is used by the implementation to derive a position within a directory. Application programs should treat this strictly as an opaque value, making no assumptions about its contents.
