fopen64() is not a standard function.
Presumably it means that this function can open files as large as 2^64
bytes.
That particular implementation/standard probably also offers ftell64()
or similar.
With a google I find that fopen64 is part of the Large File Spec,
something about SuS.
It would be better for you to ask about fopen64() in
comp.unix.progr ammer, because it's topical there.
The C standard deals with this in another way, with fgetpos() and
fsetpos().
fopen() works fine with files of any size - it's ftell for example
that doesn't.
See question 12.25 of the C-FAQ.

There is no one answer to that, but see below about 32 bit off_t.

I guess it is analogous to fopen but implemented in terms of off64_t
wherever off_t might have been used (if at all). It would be able to
handle files of up to ~2^63 bytes since off_t is signed (to allow one to
seek backwards).
With a google I find that fopen64 is part of the Large File Spec,
something about SuS.
It was (or is) an interim measure to allow *nix programs to handle files
larger than 2GB while still being ABI compatible with libc's where off_t
is 32 bits. Almost all new (desktop & server, at least) architectures
have off_t as 64 bits, so new programs may decide to ignore the
extensions, at a cost of compatibility with large files on older or
unusual systems. In such cases smaller files will still work, but the
process gets delivered a signal if a file grows to big.
RTFM:
man lseek64

viza, since you seem to be fond of helping people asking UNIX
questions here on comp.lang.c, the next time you are going to answer
one, set the follow-ups to comp.unix.progr ammer.

Wrong, my reply was about the topicality of this newsgroup.

The first 63 versions of the function did not work properly or did not
sell well.

If we look at a programming language such as C++: When an updated Standard
comes out, everyone adopts it and abandons the previous one.
It seems though that things aren't so clear-cut in the C community. It
would seem that C99 is the most up-to-date Standard, but far more people
seem to be working off the C89 Standard.
Could someone please explain to me why this is so?

The keyword is clearly superflous here.
In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
