/****************************************************************************
 * Name: pwrite
 *
 * Description:
 *   The pwrite() function performs the same action as write(), except that
 *   it writes into a given position without changing the file pointer. The
 *   first three arguments to pwrite() are the same as write() with the
 *   addition of a fourth argument offset for the desired position inside
 *   the file.
 *
 *   NOTE: This function could have been wholly implemented within libc but
 *   it is not.  Why?  Because if pwrite were implemented in libc, it would
 *   require four system calls.  If it is implemented within the kernel,
 *   only three.
 *
 * Input Parameters:
 *   fd       file descriptor (or socket descriptor) to write to
 *   buf      Data to write
 *   nbytes   Length of data to write
 *
 * Returned Value:
 *   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 write() return values
 *
 * Assumptions/Limitations:
 *   POSIX requires that opening a file with the O_APPEND flag should have no
 *   effect on the location at which pwrite() writes data.  However, on NuttX
 *   like on Linux, if a file is opened with O_APPEND, pwrite() appends data
 *   to the end of the file, regardless of the value of offset.
