        : sig end

       File operations on large files.  This sub-module provides 64-bit variants of the functions
       Unix.lseek (for positioning a file  descriptor),  Unix.truncate  and  Unix.ftruncate  (for
       changing  the  size  of  a file), and Unix.stat , Unix.lstat and Unix.fstat (for obtaining
       information on files).  These alternate functions represent positions and sizes by  64-bit
       integers (type int64 ) instead of regular integers (type int ), thus allowing operating on
       files whose sizes are greater than max_int .

       val lseek : Unix.file_descr -> int64 -> Unix.seek_command -> int64

       val truncate : string -> int64 -> unit

       val ftruncate : Unix.file_descr -> int64 -> unit

        st_uid : int ;  (* User id of the owner
