-__USE_FILE_OFFSET64
+_LARGEFILE_SOURCE
+ If defined, headers will provide functions fseeko and ftello.
+_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
+ If defined, headers will in addition to data types, constants and
+ functions named xxx (e.g. off_t, struct stat, F_SETLK, ftruncate())
+ supply data types, constants and functions named xxx64 (e.g. off64_t,
+ struct stat64, F_SETLK64, ftruncate64()) known as an interface for
+ 64-bit file offsets.
__USE_LARGEFILE[64]
-_LARGEFILE[64]_SOURCE
+ Defined to 1 and used internally when built with _LARGEFILE[64]_SOURCE.
+ Undefined otherwise.
+
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS
- ???
+ Select default filesystem interface. When defined as 64 the data types,
+ constants and functions mentioned in _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE as xxx are
+ aliased to the corresponding xxx64 data types, constants and functions.
+ _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 enables both __USE_LARGEFILE and __USE_LARGEFILE64.
+ This flag does not affect the way libc itself is built, it only affects
+ what declarations are provided to library user.
+__USE_FILE_OFFSET64
+ Defined to 1 and used internally when built with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64.
+ Undefined otherwise.
__THROW
Function annotation "I do not throw anything".
