Referring to:

$ rpm -qf /usr/include/sys/sendfile.h
glibc-devel-2.2.5-40

quoting "sendfile.h"

#ifdef __USE_FILE_OFFSET64
# error "<sys/sendfile.h> cannot be used with _FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
#endif

So, how does one use sendfile() for large files that are greater than 2
GBytes? Am I missing something?

Thanks,
Karen
