Unix.LargeFile(3)                OCaml library               Unix.LargeFile(3)

NAME
       Unix.LargeFile - File operations on large files.

Module
       Module   Unix.LargeFile

Documentation
       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 .
