Hi.
After having read
http://book.realworldhaskell.org/read/concurrent-and-multicore-programming.h...
I have a doubt about Data.ByteString.Lazy.
Why getContents function don't use pread (or an emulation, if not 
available)?
A correction.
getContents should not use pread, so the question is:
why there is not a
   hParGetContents Handle -> Integer -> IO ByteString
function, where Integer is the absolute file offset where start to read?


Thanks  Manlio Perillo
