How can i get a particular line in a 3 gig text file. The lines are delimited by \n. And i need to be able to get any line on demand.

How can this be done? Only one line need be returned. And i would not like to use any system calls.

Note: There is the same question elsewhere regarding how to do this in bash. I would like to compare it with the PHP equiv.
