To edit any file in any way you will have to read it directly or indirectly
so any command/script/method will take atleast the time required to open the file and save it bak Smilie
so what you need to really worry is that you do minimum possible operations on the huge file

but you cannot avoid the time for

1. open
2. read

on the file to have it changed Smilie

HUGETLBFS_UNLINKED_FD(3)				     Library Functions Manual					  HUGETLBFS_UNLINKED_FD(3)

NAME
hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd, hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd_for_size - Obtain a file descriptor for a new unlinked file in hugetlbfs SYNOPSIS
#include <hugetlbfs.h> int hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd(void); int hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd_for_size(long page_size); DESCRIPTION
These functions return an open file descriptor for a unique, newly-created file in a hugetlbfs filesystem. To avoid leaking hugepages, the file is unlinked automatically before the function returns. For hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd, the default huge page size is used (see gethugepagesize(3)). For hugetlbfs_unlinked_fd_for_size, a valid huge page size must be specified (see gethugepagesizes(3)). RETURN VALUE
On success, a valid open file descriptor is returned. On failure, -1 is returned and errno may be set appropriately. SEE ALSO
gethugepagesize(3), gethugepagesizes(3), mkstemp(3), libhugetlbfs(7) AUTHORS
libhugetlbfs was written by various people on the libhugetlbfs-devel mailing list. March 7, 2012 HUGETLBFS_UNLINKED_FD(3)
