The declaration is
{$if not defined(fs32bit)}
off_t = cint64; { used for file sizes }
{$else}
off_t = cint;
{$endif}
The 64bit is active, IIRC the 32-bit is for use with FPC_USE_LIBC for when
the debian oldstable still defined 32-bit as seek (even though even somewhat
relevant distros already defined 64-bit).
FPC_USE_LIBC for linux and *bsd still is still hardly used afaik.
Maybe we could clean it out. Why the documentation tool picks the $ELSE
branch I don't know. I grepped, and it didn't seem to find anything in fpdoc
or (doc/rtl) makefiles defining it.
