NAME
     largefile - large file status of utilities

DESCRIPTION
     A large file is a regular file whose size is greater than or
     equal  to  2 Gbyte ( 2**31 bytes). A small file is a regular
     file whose size is less than 2 Gbyte.

  Large file aware utilities
     A utility is called large file aware if it can process large
     files  in  the same manner as it does small files. A utility
     that is large file aware is able to handle  large  files  as
     input and generate as output large files that are being pro-
     cessed. The exception is where additional files  are used as
     system configuration files or support files that can augment
     the processing. For example, the file utility  supports  the
     -m  option for an alternative "magic" file and the -f option
     for a support file that can contain a list of file names. It
     is  unspecified  whether  a utility that is large file aware
     will accept configuration or support files  that  are  large
     files.  If a large file aware utility does not accept confi-
     guration or support files that  are  large  files,  it  will
     cause  no  data  loss  or  corruption upon encountering such
     files and will return an appropriate error.

     The following /usr/bin utilities are large file aware:

     adb           awk           bdiff         cat           chgrp
     chmod         chown         cksum         cmp           compress
     cp            csh           csplit        cut           dd
     dircmp        du            egrep         fgrep         file
     find          ftp           getconf       grep          gzip
     head          join          jsh           ksh           ln
     ls            mdb           mkdir         mkfifo        more
     mv            nawk          page          paste         pathchck

     rmdir         rsh           sed           sh            sort
     split         sum           tail          tar           tee
     test          touch         tr            uncompress    uudecode
     uuencode      wc            zcat


     The following /usr/xpg4/bin utilities are large file aware:

     awk           cp            chgrp         chown         du
     egrep         fgrep         file          grep          ln
     ls            more          mv            rm            sed
     sh            sort          tail          tr

     getconf       ls            tr


     The following /usr/sbin utilities are large file aware:

     install       mkfile        mknod         mvdir         swap


     See the USAGE section of the swap(1M) manual page for  limi-
     tations  of  swap on block devices greater than 2 Gbyte on a
     32-bit operating system.

     The following /usr/ucb utilities are large file aware:

     chown         from          ln            ls            sed
     sum           touch


     The /usr/bin/cpio and /usr/bin/pax utilities are large  file
     aware,  but cannot archive a file whose size exceeds 8 Gbyte
     - 1 byte.

     The /usr/bin/truss utilities has been  modified  to  read  a
     dump  file  and display information relevant to large files,
     such as offsets.

  Large file safe utilities
     A utility is called large file safe if  it  causes  no  data
     loss  or corruption when it encounters a large file. A util-
     ity that is large file safe is unable to process properly  a
     large file, but returns an appropriate error.

     The following /usr/bin utilities are large file safe:

     audioconvert     audioplay    audiorecord    comm          diff
     diff3            diffmk       ed             lp            mail
