What about pread and pwrite, for reading and writing to seekable files
in multiple threads? pread and pwrite get as a parameter a offset that
they use to seek the file before reading or writing, but doing it
atomically, so that many threads can use them concurrently, without
the risk that another thread will re-seek the file between a seek and
a read/write operation.
