|
<p>The <strong>pwrite64()</strong> function writes <em>nbyte</em> bytes from
|
|
<em>buf</em> to the file associated with <em>file_descriptor</em>. The <em>
|
|
offset</em> value defines the starting position in the file and the file
|
|
pointer position is not changed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The <em>offset</em> will also be ignored if <em>file_descriptor</em> refers
|
|
to a descriptor obtained using the <strong>open()</strong> function with
|
|
O_APPEND specified.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>pwrite64()</strong> is enabled for large files. It is capable of
|
|
operating on files larger than 2GB minus 1 byte as long as the file has been
|
|
opened by either of the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Using the <strong>open64()</strong> function (see <a href="open64.htm">
|
|
open64()--Open File (large file enabled)</a>).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Using the <strong>open()</strong> function (see <a href="open.htm">
|
|
open()--Open File</a>) with O_LARGEFILE set in the oflag parameter.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>For additional information about parameters, authorities, and error
|
|
conditions, see <a href="pwrite.htm">pwrite()--Write to Descriptor with
|
|
Offset</a>.</p>

<h3><a name="usage_notes">Usage Notes</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>When you develop in C-based languages, the prototypes for the 64-bit APIs
|
|
are normally hidden. To use the <strong>pwrite64</strong> API, you must compile
|
|
the source with the _LARGE_FILE_API macro defined.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>All of the usage notes for <strong>pwrite()</strong> apply to <strong>
|
|
pwrite64()</strong>. See <em>Usage Notes</em> in the <strong>pwrite</strong>
|
|
API.</li>
