The POSIX.1b standard introduced a few more objects which possibly can
be implemented as object in the filesystem. These are message queues,
semaphores, and shared memory objects. To allow differentiating these
objects from other files the POSIX standard introduces three new test
macros. But unlike the other macros it does not take the value of the
@code{st_mode} field as the parameter. Instead they expect a pointer to
the whole @code{struct stat} structure.

@deftypefn Macro int S_TYPEISMQ (struct stat @var{s})
If the system implement POSIX message queues as distinct objects and the
file is a message queue object, this macro returns a non-zero value.
In all other cases the result is zero.

@deftypefun int truncate64 (const char *@var{name}, off64_t @var{length})
This function is similar to the @code{truncate} function. The
difference is that the @var{length} argument is 64 bits wide even on 32
bits machines, which allows the handling of files with sizes up to
bits machines, which allows the handling of files with sizes up to
@math{2^63} bytes.
When the source file is compiled with @code{_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64} on a
