Is there a system call other than 'open' for opening very large files?
Dear all, Inside a C program, I want to open a very big file (about 12 GB) in order to read its content. Here is the code: Code:
/*
argv[1] contains the path to the file.
*/
inputFileDescriptor = open(argv[1], O_RDONLY);
if (inputFileDescriptor < 0)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Error: Could not open the input file\n");
fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", strerror(errno));
return 1;
}
And it seems that the file is too big, because I receive the following error message: Code:
Error: Could not open the input file Value too large for defined data type Is there any other system call, allowing to open very big files? Thanks in advance, Dariyoosh
