The funtools project ships a man page with the same, name. And although
it mith probably make more sense to rename the man page there, as BSD
systems will certainly not do so, this is the easiest and fastest way
to avoid a file conflict.
This is a wrapper over the glibc fopencookie() function.
We diverge from the FreeBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFlyBSD declarations,
because seekfn() there wrongly uses fpos_t, assuming it's an integral
type, and any code using that on a system where fpos_t is a struct
(such as GNU-based systems or NetBSD) will fail to build. In which case,
as the code has to be modified anyway, we might just as well use the
correct declaration.
Taken from NetBSD.
[guillem@hadrons.org:
- Import from NetBSD instead of FreeBSD to get a 3-clause BSD license,
instead of a 4-clause one.
- Define compatibility macros.
- Change library from libc to libbsd and header in man page.
- Add copyright information to COPYING.
- Add symbol to map file. ]
