UnderUnix-like and Posix-compatible systems, definitely use <TT>stat()</TT>(or maybe <TT>fstat</TT>). <TT>stat()</TT> has existed under MS-DOS compilersI've used, too. (I can't help you with Windows, however.)<p>If the reason you need a file's size in advance is so that youcan malloc a buffer big enough for reading in the file all atonce, however, you have two other options. One is to processthe file sequentially, rather than reading it in all at once;reading it in all at once isn't always the best idea, after all.The other option is that if you can guess the file's size,or get an approximation to it somehow (for example, <TT>stat()</TT> underMS-DOS gives the ``wrong'' size due to CRLF <=> <TT>\n</TT> translations),you can fairly easily write some code that malloc's the approximateamount, starts reading the file, and realloc's if necessary.If you'd like to see this worked out in detail, see section 11.3 ofmy C Programming Notes at <a href="http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/cclass.html">http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/cclass/cclass.html</a>,and the answers to introductory assignment 6. (The examples thereshow how to read a file line-by-line, not as a contiguous block,but they should give you some ideas.)<p>Once in a very long while you may have to write code to read afile twice (once to count the characters in it, and a second todo something with them, once you know precisely how many of themthere are), but this should be an absolute last resort, becauseit's likely to lead to some pretty severe performance problems,at least for large files.<p><address><a href="http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/">Steve Summit</a><br><a href="mailto:scs@eskimo.com">scs@eskimo.com</a></address></body><!-- Mirrored from c-faq.com/osdep/filesize.990621.html by HTTrack Website Copier/3.x [XR&CO'2008], Sat, 14 Mar 2009 08:03:13 GMT --></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
