Is the O_LARGEFILE
flag needed if all that I want to do is write a large file (O_WRONLY
) or append to a large file (O_APPEND | O_WRONLY
)?
From a thread that I read titled "Cannot write >2gb index file" on the CLucene-dev mailing list, it appears that O_LARGEFILE
might be needed to write large files, but participants in that discussion are using O_RDWR
, not O_WRONLY
, so I am not sure.
