System Functions (k - m) lseek64(2)
[EINVAL] One of these conditions exists:
• The whence parameter is an invalid value, or the resulting file offset
would be an invalid value (that is, a value less than 0 [zero]).
• The filedes parameter refers to a file (other than a pipe, FIFO, or direc-
tory) on which seeking cannot be performed.
[EISDIR] The filedes parameter refers to an OSS directory.
[EISGUARDIAN]
The value used for the filedes parameter is appropriate only in the Guardian
environment.
[EOVERFLOW]
The application attempted to set the file offset beyond the maximum file offset
supported for the file.
[ESPIPE] The filedes parameter refers to a pipe, FIFO, or socket.
[EWRONGID] One of these conditions occurred:
• The process attempted an operation through an operating system
input/output process (such as a terminal server process) that has failed or
is in the down state.
• The processor for the disk process of the specified file failed during an
input or output operation, and the backup process took over.
• The open file descriptor has migrated to a new processor, but the new
processor lacks a resource or system process needed for using the file
descriptor.
The file descriptor specified by the filedes parameter can only be closed.
For all other error conditions, errno is set to the appropriate Guardian file-system error number.
For more information about a specific Guardian file-system error, see the Guardian Procedure
Errors and Messages Manual.
