Depends on your filesystem. Maybe you can't. – Frédéric Hamidi Nov 10 '13 at 13:29

You need large file support. Have a look around here: [Seeking and reading large files in a Linux C++ application](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1035657/seeking-and-reading-large-files-in-a-linux-c-application) – JB. Nov 10 '13 at 13:42

(Some) embedded systems nowadays have more memory, more processing power and more storage than servers when I started to program. – AProgrammer Nov 10 '13 at 14:55
