Depending on the compiler and/or, you may need to use fopen64 for opening
large files (>2G) or put these defines in your source file:
#define _LARGEFILE_SOURCE
#define _FILE_OFFSET_BITS 64
(These are Linux specific, I think, other OSes may have different ways of
doing it).
A quick Google may help for other options.
