The man page for lseek in Ultrix v3.0 has a mistake in the return value for
lseek(2). The beginning of it says it returns an int, but later the man page
says it returns a long integer. Lint complains unless it is declared as long.
Also, lint doesn't like it when the second parameter is declared off_t, as
the man page says it should. /usr/include/sys/types.h has off_t typedef'ed to
int, but lint wants a long. Is the mistake in the man page, or the include
file? In other words, would it be a good idea to redefine off_t as long?
