stat() fails for large file (2GB)

[Alona]

Hi All,

stat fails on a 2GB file with errno=EOVERFLOW.
Is there a way to run stat() on a large file?

Thanks,
Alona

Stat is not defined by ISO C, so you might want to ask in
comp.unix.programmer.

Use stat64. See your system's documentation for the C library or the
online documentation for POSIX.

stat64() works, but S_ISREG returns that the file is not a regular
file, while it is a regular text file.

You *really* should post this to a group that's specific to your
environment like <
Also WRT my previous advice you should probably define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS
to 64 and use stat in a transparent manner.

STAT is a CP/M system program. The system doesn't handle 2GB files.

STAT is a CP/M system program. The system doesn't handle 2GB files.

Which is probably why the OP is using a system with a function named
stat. In case you hadn't noticed, C is case sensitive.
