Module LargeFile
: sig end

File operations on large files. This sub-module provides 64-bit variants of the functions Unix.LargeFile.lseek (for positioning a file descriptor), Unix.LargeFile.truncate and Unix.LargeFile.ftruncate (for changing the size of a file), and Unix.LargeFile.stat , Unix.LargeFile.lstat and Unix.LargeFile.fstat (for obtaining information on files).  These alternate functions represent positions and sizes by 64-bit integers (type int64 ) instead of regular integers (type int ), thus allowing operating on files whose sizes are greater than max_int .

val lseek : Unix.file_descr -> int64 -> Unix.seek_command -> int64

See lseek .

val truncate : string -> int64 -> unit

See truncate .

val ftruncate : Unix.file_descr -> int64 -> unit

See ftruncate .
