should have written: guarantees at least a maximum of 32767.

it's not part of an application, it's a system header (well, it is here, on a
Slackware GNU/Linux box).  turns out on my box just including 'stdio.h' is
enough.

jr@crow:1:tmp$ locate unistd.h | grep /usr/include
/usr/include/unistd.h
/usr/include/sys/unistd.h
/usr/include/asm-x86/unistd.h
/usr/include/bits/unistd.h
/usr/include/linux/unistd.h
/usr/include/asm-generic/unistd.h
jr@crow:2:tmp$ cat mr.c
#include <stdio.h>

int main(void) {
  ssize_t a, b, c;
  a = -1, b = 0, c = 1;
  printf("ssize_t vals: %zd  %zd  %zd\n", a, b, c);
  return 0;
}

jr@crow:3:tmp$ c99 mr.c
jr@crow:4:tmp$ ./a.out
ssize_t vals: -1  0  1
jr@crow:5:tmp$


(the 'c99' is a shell alias for the compiler)
