How can I get the filesize of a file in C when the filesize is greater than 4gb?
ftell returns a 4 byte signed long, limiting it to two bytes. stat has a variable of type off_t which is also 4 bytes (not sure of sign), so at most it can tell me the size of a 4gb file.
What if the file is larger than 4 gb?
