integer types, sys calls, and stdio

[Doug Gwyn (VLD/VMB)]

Definitely there are several incorrect system call and C library
interface descriptions in the 4.2BSD manual.  In those cases
where there is a corresponding UNIX System V, /usr/group, or
ANSI X3J11 specification you should use it instead.

The only "variable type" declarations used in the ANSI C library
specifications are a few instances apiece of:
	jmp_buf	va_list	size_t	onexit_ptr	time_t
On 4.2BSD time_t is necessarily a long (must be an integral type!)
and size_t is a unsigned (type of "sizeof" operator).

For the case you give as an example, the answer is:

long lseek( int fildes, long offset, int whence );
