This is UNIX history affecting the Amiga. Actually, there is no such
subroutine. Instead, you simply look at the return value from lseek().
Try this :
		fd = open("some file name", O_RDONLY);
		/* seek to the end of the file */
		size = lseek(fd, 0L, 2);

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
