But, yes, the synopsis should change at some time.

Will add following errors: EINTR A signal was caught during execution EIO An I/O error occurred while reading from or writing to a file system. EOPNOTSUPP The mode is not supported on the file descriptor. and will update following : EINVAL offset was less than 0, or len was less than or equal to 0. -- Regards, Amit Arora
