Hi all, according to the problem record I opened at IBM (51921) a mkstemp64 will be included in libc.a. Here the last entry from the problem record dated 03/03/04:
Based on the inputs from the developers we shall be adding a mkstemp64 routine to libc.a . ACTION PLAN . Create an APAR and RQ the PMR. jw schultz writes: > On Thu, Feb 13, 2003 at 05:01:58PM +0100, Andreas Schott wrote: > > Dear rsync-developers, > > > > on AIX5.1 with 32-bit kernel one can have large-file support. > > rsync in principle supports it correctly since the flag > > _LARGE_FILES is treated correctly in the /usr/include/*.h > > But there is one point missing, the mkstemp is not opening > > a large file.
