NAME

ixp_read, ixp_pread

SYNOPSIS

#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.

DESCRIPTION

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.
