Those are sometimes in <unistd.h>. It's already included in that file (and
in other places), so you can try adding defined(OS_SUNOS) to the guard.
Don't know which standard, but most likely some version of the Unix
standard. As for why not f* stdc calls, because that's the way Perforce
wrote it ;-) Perhaps they did that because not all systems they support have
a well defined stdio library?

That alone will do very well. I'll add it pronto :-)

...OK looked up some of the standards:

read: IEEE Std1003.1-1990 - aka POSIX
close, and lseek: IEEE Std1003.1-1988 - aka POSIX
