Hi all llseek method has its second argument as offset which is of type unsigned long. And the last argument decides whence i.e from where to start the offset, right? Now i have a doubt. If the data type of offset is unsigned long this means i can only access a file till its 2^32 byte after if i start from its beginning, using llseek. On the other hand ulimit -a shows me i can have a file size of unlimited size, which is indeed some value subjected to storage space on which file resides and also the filesystem.right? Then does this means i cant access a file beyond its 2^32 byte using llseek and starting from its beginning? Is it so or am i missing something here? Any pointers or links will be appreciated.
