Current version says that pread and pwrite ever existed in avr32 and blackfin archs only, which were removed from kernel. This is not true. pread and pwrite are present in modern Linux for all archs. They were merely renamed to pread64 and pwrite64 in Linux 2.6, as explained in big table in this man page Signed-off-by: Askar Safin <redacted> --- man/man2/syscalls.2 | 16 ---------------- 1 file changed, 16 deletions(-)
