https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=162765 --- Comment #6 from commit-hook@FreeBSD.org --- A commit references this bug: Author: gbe Date: Mon Jul 13 15:52:58 UTC 2020 New revision: 363156 URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/363156 Log: lseek(2): Document the seek behavior better and update the POSIX compliance In certain situations lseek(2) will return successful although if no seek was performed. This can happen when operating on devices that don't support seeking (older tape drives) or when operating on changeable media devices (such as DVD or Blu-ray devices) without a medium inserted. Document this within the man page and update the POSIX compliance while here.
