But the only time you have to worry about the return value from read()
being large-file-safe is if you are reading objects that are that large.
There are no calls to ftell(), and the only calls to lseek() are either
seeking to 0 (which usually requires 32 bits or less to represent) or
seeking inside kernel virtual memory (which is unlikely to be that large).
Without seeking and without 2GB-sized objects in files, large file
support comes for free, right?
