I am wondering what the best way to read a text file, line by line,
when the file size is much larger than available memory.
I know there are helper functions like
stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:, but this implies having to
load the entire file in memory. Google has not been of much extra
help here.
For very large files you probably want to use NSFileHandle. With the
method readDataOfLength: you can read the file in chunks and then
parse through for the line endings.
