Probably a very simple problem - hopefully someone will help me

Hello and thanks for your time.
I have been subscribed to this list now for 1824 posts but this is my
first post.
I have a file (attached) which I can't compile under cygwin using gcc.
Is it possible for this file to be compiled using cygwin, and if so can
you point me to where I am going wrong?  Sorry if this is a REALLY dolly
question but we all start somewhere.  PS This code compiles fine under
VC6.

I get these errors when I compile using the command directly below

$ gcc byte_hacking.cpp
byte_hacking.cpp: In function 'int main():
byte_hacking.cpp:20 implicit declaration of function 'int lseek(...)'
byte_hacking.cpp:22 implicit declaration of function 'int read(...)'
byte_hacking.cpp:27 implicit declaration of function 'int write(...)'
byte_hacking.cpp:25 implicit declaration of function 'int close(...)'

Thanks lots
David Ayliffe (mail@ayliffe.com)

Running Windows 2000 Advanced Server (SP2) with Cygwin gcc 2.95.3-5
Also running Suse Linux 7.1 Professional kernel 2.4
