* Name: pread
*
* Description:
* The pread() function performs the same action as read(), except that it
* reads from a given position in the file without changing the file
* pointer. The first three arguments to pread() are the same as read()
* with the addition of a fourth argument offset for the desired position
* inside the file. An attempt to perform a pread() on a file that is
* incapable of seeking results in an error.
*
* NOTE: This function could have been wholly implemented within libc but
* it is not. Why? Because if pread were implemented in libc, it would
* require four system calls. If it is implemented within the kernel,
* only three.
*
* Parameters:
* file File structure instance
* buf User-provided to save the data
* nbytes The maximum size of the user-provided buffer
* offset The file offset
*
* Return:
* The positive non-zero number of bytes read on success, 0 on if an
* end-of-file condition, or -1 on failure with errno set appropriately.
* See read() return values
*
