However unlikely large files are, there is a history in our tree of increasing input limits to transparently support large(r) files: cat(1) (ok millert@): https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/8d576c92c5d93d1e61ef1d918cae5fa9a9421c10 dd(1) (ok millert@): https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/5a04faeb71440b1f24533a07e5230c7d4655f7da#diff-1b1e72ca344d152a8a9e82bd3f4ad570cc3d08d175b2a47aa9b3b271ed789928 tail(1) (ok millert@): https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/c830e4ad7782508f7f7111bb524ecc767949e215 wc(1) (commited by millert@): https://github.com/openbsd/src/commit/5ca607faa74cf42c55020844f84274a2224f2481 -- I'll probably do nl(1) in the near future. It still counts lines with an int. nl(1) is trickier, though. Many more variables involved. head(1), in constrast, is trivial.
