Should not matter unless you are trying to write more than 4 GB in one
call. (Notice that there is _no_ position argument, which would be the
limiting file-size factor.) The limiting factor is the OS. You can use
files as large as the underlying OS allows.

Again, there is no positioning argument, so the size of the file does
not matter. Only the size of your read matters.

If it does use 64bit integers, then yes.
(The 32/64 overload is seen on the Delphi, but not C++ help)

Otherwise, you might look to the WinApi

CreateFile()
ReadFile()
WriteFile()
SetFilePointer()	uses 2-32bit integers for a 64bit offset.
SetFilePointerEx()	uses 1-64bit integer.
