Question about large file support

[ColinB <cbyh at yahoo dot com>]

I am fairly new to Cygwin (occasionally using an old version) but I now
need to write a program which can fseek() through very large AVI files
(12 GB or even larger).

I believe that large file support is in version 1.5.0 of Cygwin but
can't find any details of how to use it.

Are there separate 64-bit versions of fopen/fseek/... called
fopen64/fseek64 as on some platforms, or is there some sort of
"transparent" support where you can continue to use fopen/fclose?

And what is the integer type you need to pass into fseek/fseek64 to
specify 64-bit file offsets?

Thanks

Colin
