docs: Clarify the definition of goffset (1.15 KB, patch)

Description Mohammed Sadiq 2018-01-24 09:03:45 UTC 
In the documentation of goffset, off64_t is said to be a part of C99, which really is not. off_t is a part of POSIX standard[0]. I couldn't find any official documentation that states off64_t. In any case, it is wrong to say that it's a standard of C99.

docs: Clarify the definition of goffset

off64_t doesn’t exist in any standard (definitely not C99), and so
goffset is actually closer to off_t in 64-bit mode.

However, goffset is always defined as gint64, so make that clear.
