What can i do to open , write and seek in file with size 2 GB or more
I know that you r limited with int type size which is 32-bit but how
programs like gzip , zip read and write from files with big size like
2-GB
how can i break this limit in C or even C++ 8 8118

In Win32, you can use LARGE_INTEGER structure, and the APIs support 64-
bit integers.
Many compilers have built-in support for 64-bit integers, such as
__int64 in Microsoft C++ compiler.
However, it seems that standard C functions do not support 64-bit
integers.
Some compilers provide big file support
Microsoft and other compilers like lcc-win provide special functions
like fseeki64 and other functions to cope with files bigger than
2GB under the windows system.
what about more than 2GB , windows or linux as example can deal with
more than 2GB and it's written in C++
how can they do that

bigger than 2GB means BIGGER (greater than). This means a file of
1000 GB if you wish!

Is there is any method available in C/C++ or any language to deal with
that
Python for example manage variables types in this case is the size
will be infinite"limited to physical memory size" or also limited to
64-bit

The size of an int isn't relevant; the relevant functions are fseek()
and ftell(), and they use long, not int.
'long' is only guaranteed to be at least 32 bits; it can be larger
than that, and on many systems it is. On systems where 'long' is a 64-
bit type, there is no problem (for now - wait a few decades and even
64 bits might not be enough).
I'm not very familiar with systems where files can be greater than
2GB, but long is too small to hold a file length, so I'll let others
tell you what to do in that case. However, in principle even when
'long' is only 32 bits, you could handle files longer than 2GB by
using fgetpos() and fsetpos() instead of fseek() and ftell(). The
interface is clumsier, but it's still workable. However, I know that
on at least some systems, the ability to work in that fashion to
handle files larger than 2GB is deliberately disabled; you have to use
special functions that are not defined by the C standard to access the
part of a long file that is after an offset of LONG_MAX.

Hence, the FAQ:
12.25: What's the difference between fgetpos/fsetpos and ftell/fseek?
What are fgetpos() and fsetpos() good for?
A: ftell() and fseek() use type long int to represent offsets
(positions) in a file, and may therefore be limited to offsets
of about 2 billion (2**31-1). The newer fgetpos() and
fsetpos()
functions, on the other hand, use a special typedef, fpos_t,
to
represent the offsets. The type behind this typedef, if
chosen
appropriately, can represent arbitrarily large offsets, so
fgetpos() and fsetpos() can be used with arbitrarily huge
files.
fgetpos() and fsetpos() also record the state associated with
multibyte streams. See also question 1.4.

There is also open() and O_LARGEFILE as defined by POSIX.
Also, there might be some library to deal with large files. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics
