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