Please explain. At:

http://man.dnswatch.com/cgi-bin/htmlman?fseek+3

I see:

The fseeko() function is identical to fseek(), except it takes an off_t
argument instead of a long. Likewise, the ftello() function is identical
to ftell(), except it returns an off_t.

while fsetpos() is:

fsetpos(FILE *stream, const fpos_t *pos);

and presumably fpos_t handles long files too.
