off_t is always a 64-bit signed int and there's no printf(9) length
modifier to handle this particular situation (it's typically 'long' on
64-bit archs and 'long long' on 32-bit archs).  Instead it's cast to a
signed int which is at least as large that does have a suitable length
modifier (intmax_t can be printed using %jd).
