Ah, OK :) here it is.

PREAD(2)                  Linux Programmer's Manual                     PREAD(2)

NAME
       pread, pwrite - read from or write to a file descriptor at a given offset

SYNOPSIS
       #define _XOPEN_SOURCE 500

       #include <unistd.h>

       ssize_t pread(int fd, void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);

       ssize_t pwrite(int fd, const void *buf, size_t count, off_t offset);
...

And #defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 500 before the #include doesn't resolve the issue.

This is the content of my /usr/include/unistd.h:

#ifdef __USE_UNIX98
# ifndef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
extern ssize_t pread (int __fd, void *__buf, size_t __nbytes,
		      __off_t __offset) __wur;
extern ssize_t pwrite (int __fd, __const void *__buf, size_t __n,
		       __off_t __offset) __wur;
# else
#  ifdef __REDIRECT
extern ssize_t __REDIRECT (pread, (int __fd, void *__buf, size_t __nbytes,
				   __off64_t __offset),
			   pread64) __wur;
extern ssize_t __REDIRECT (pwrite, (int __fd, __const void *__buf,
				    size_t __nbytes, __off64_t __offset),
			   pwrite64) __wur;
#  else
#   define pread pread64
#   define pwrite pwrite64
#  endif
# endif

# ifdef __USE_LARGEFILE64
extern ssize_t pread64 (int __fd, void *__buf, size_t __nbytes,
			__off64_t __offset) __wur;
extern ssize_t pwrite64 (int __fd, __const void *__buf, size_t __n,
			 __off64_t __offset) __wur;
# endif
#endif

I think all of pread/write functions are properly defined here:

  $ echo '#include <unistd.h>' | \
  > gcc -xc -E -dM -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 - | \
  > grep -e UNIX98 -e LARGEFILE64 -e FILE_OFFSET
  #define __ILP32_OFFBIG_CFLAGS "-m32 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
  #define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE 1
  #define __USE_UNIX98 1
  #define __USE_LARGEFILE64 1
  #define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
  #define __USE_FILE_OFFSET64 1

Thanks,
Namhyung
