Hi folks! I am programming in obsd using the c coding language. I have a doubt related to parameters and return value of write. My doubt is related to the fact that write has a parameter of the number of bytes to write in non-negative value. But it returns a signed value. Lets suppose i specify as the parameter a number of bytes to write with the size of 2 ^ 31 - 100; the internal represetation of signed and unsigned is the same, for instance, -100 and 2^31 - 100 is the same value.
In this scenario, how to handle a negative value of the return that is not a error as signess result but is negative. How do you handle this? Thanks. PS: sorry for my poor english. -- The lion and the tiger may be more powerful, but the wolves do not perform in the circus
