ixp_read(3)

ixp_read3

Usage

#include <ixp.h>
long ixp_read(IxpCFid *fid, void *buf, long count);
long ixp_pread(IxpCFid *fid, void *buf, long count, int64_t offset);

Parameters

buf

A buffer in which to store the read data.

count

The number of bytes to read.

offset

The offset at which to begin reading.

Overview

ixp_read and ixp_pread each read count bytes of data from the file pointed to by fid, into buf. ixp_read begins reading at its stored offset, and increments it by the number of bytes read. ixp_pread reads beginning at offset and does not alter fid's stored offset.

Return value

These functions return the number of bytes read on success and -1 on failure.
