Re: Help ! how to get a file size larger than 2G?

so how about a file larger than 2G?

I suppose by "stat::st_size" you mean the st_size field of the stat
structure. Note that stat() isn't a standard C function, but a unix
one which has made its way into some other systems.

Some systems have a symbol you can #define to make off_t be a 64-bit
type on a system where it is usually 32 bits. It appears to be
__USE_FILE_OFFSET64 on a Linux system here, but I have no experience
of using it so I recommend you ask in a group more specific to your
system.
