Re: [PATCHv2 xfsprogs 13/14] xfs.h: require transparent LFS

[Felix Janda <felix.janda@xxxxxxxxx>]

Since our interfaces depend on the consistent use of a 64bit offset
type, force downstreams to use transparent LFS (_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64),
so that it becomes impossible for them to use 32bit interfaces.
