Subject[PATCH] lseek.2: SYNOPSIS: Use correct types
Date
The Linux kernel uses 'unsigned int' instead of 'int'
for 'fd' and 'whence'.
As glibc provides no wrapper, use the same types the kernel uses.

src/linux$ grep -rn "SYSCALL_DEFINE.*lseek"
fs/read_write.c:322:SYSCALL_DEFINE3(lseek, unsigned int, fd, off_t, offset, unsigned int, whence)
fs/read_write.c:328:COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE3(lseek, unsigned int, fd, compat_off_t, offset, unsigned int, whence)
fs/read_write.c:336:SYSCALL_DEFINE5(llseek, unsigned int, fd, unsigned long, offset_high,
arch/mips/kernel/linux32.c:65:SYSCALL_DEFINE5(32_llseek, unsigned int, fd, unsigned int, offset_high,

src/linux$ sed -n 322,325p fs/read_write.c
SYSCALL_DEFINE3(lseek, unsigned int, fd, off_t, offset, unsigned int, whence)
{
return ksys_lseek(fd, offset, whence);
}
