Package: manpages-dev Version: 2.39-1 Severity: normal open(2) (/usr/share/man/man2/open.2.gz) does not document the error EFBIG for open(). I get this error when trying to run lde on a 250-GB regular file :
# dd bs=1 seek=250G count=1 if=/dev/zero of=bigfile # strace -o lde.strace lde bigfile # grep -w open lde.strace open("bigfile", O_RDWR) = -1 EFBIG (File too large) open("bigfile", O_RDONLY) = -1 EFBIG (File too large) Filesystem is XFS.
