Hello All, I am porting some C code to the Mac and running into problems with
using the unix compatible file i/o functions (open, write, read, lseek). The
operations appear to function (i.e., errno = 0, and proper return codes), but
the function doesn't seem to have done its job. For example, open a file, seek
to the end and write 1024 bytes to the file. The file is open for read/ write
and there is enough disk space. The write returns a zero, which indicates zero
bytes written (which is what happened), but there is no explanation for it not
having written the entire 1024 bytes. I have copied the code into a small test
program and it works fine there, just not in the code I'm porting. I anyone
could point me in the write <g> direction, I'd be grateful.
Thanks, Rick
I'm back. I solved my own problem, by determining that I had "infer
prototypes" set, and there were no actual prototypes for my file i/o functions.
As soon as I added unix.h to my code, all was well. Prehaps, this can help
someone else.
Have fun, Rick
