.SH DESCRIPTION
This function is similar to the
-.IR "code{lio_listio"
+.BR lio_listio
function. The only
difference is that on
.IR "32 bit"
machines, the file descriptor should
be opened in the large file mode. Internally,
-.IR "lio_listio64"
+.BR lio_listio64
uses
functionality equivalent to
-.IR lseek64"
+.BR lseek64
to position the file descriptor correctly for the reading or
writing, as opposed to
-.IR "lseek"
+.BR lseek
functionality used in
-.IR "lio_listio".
+.BR lio_listio .
When the sources are compiled with
-.IR "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64"
-, this
+.IR "_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64" ,
+this
function is available under the name
-.IR "lio_listio"
+.BR lio_listio
and so
transparently replaces the interface for small files on 32 bit
machines.
