Signature Error in GDS cuFileReadAsync and cuFileWriteAsync Documentation

Accelerated Computing GPU-Accelerated Libraries

Dear GDS Team,

I’ve noticed a small discrepancy in the signature of the cuFileReadAsync and cuFileWriteAsync functions as documented on the NVIDIA website and in the PDF version of the API reference guide (cuFile API Reference Guide - NVIDIA Docs).

The issue pertains to the type of the offset parameter, which should be off_t (a point type) according to the header part of cufile.h:

 CUfileError_t cuFileReadAsync(CUfileHandle_t fh, void *bufPtr_base,
                         size_t *size_p, off_t *file_offset_p, off_t *bufPtr_offset_p, ssize_t *bytes_read_p, CUstream stream);

 CUfileError_t cuFileWriteAsync(CUfileHandle_t fh, void *bufPtr_base,
                         size_t *size_p, off_t *file_offset_p, off_t *bufPtr_offset_p, ssize_t *bytes_written_p, CUstream stream);

I’m uncertain where to report this error formally, so I’m posting it here. If there’s a more appropriate channel for reporting documentation issues, please kindly guide me.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
