16       File  operations on large files.  This sub-module provides 64-bit vari‐
17       ants of the functions Unix.lseek (for positioning a  file  descriptor),
18       Unix.truncate and Unix.ftruncate (for changing the size of a file), and
19       Unix.stat , Unix.lstat and Unix.fstat  (for  obtaining  information  on
20       files).   These  alternate  functions  represent positions and sizes by
21       64-bit integers (type int64 ) instead of regular integers (type int  ),
22       thus allowing operating on files whose sizes are greater than max_int .
