1. Finding size of 2G+ files
Hi, folks!
I would like to get the filesize of files larger than 2Gig. Eu's seek()
won't let me. Is there a way to check the file's attributes to get this
info.
Related: The library entry for seek() says "It is possible to seek past
the end of a file. In this case undefined bytes will be added to the
file to make it long enough for the seek." Is that true with files
opened for read only?
Thanks!

No, the file must be opened for writing, and
you must actually write some data at the position
you seek to. The byte positions between the
former end of file and your data will be filled
with something (undefined).
I've updated the docs to make it clearer.
