PWRITE(3P)

💖 PWRITE(3P) — POSIX Programmer's Manual 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading a POSIX page together and honestly? it's a short one, so this is gonna be quick and cute 🎀

✨ PROLOG ✨

so before literally anything else: this manual page is part of the POSIX Programmer's Manual. two important lil warnings tho:

• the Linux implementation of this interface may differ — so go consult the corresponding Linux manual page for the details of Linux behavior
• or, plot twist, the interface may not be implemented on Linux at all 🙈

🌸 NAME 🌸

pwrite — write on a file

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <unistd.h>

ssize_t pwrite(int fildes, const void *buf, size_t nbyte,
    off_t offset);

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

bestie. the whole description is: refer to write(). that's it. that's the description. no cap. it's giving "go read the other page" energy and honestly we respect the efficiency 💀
