No Of Bytes in the File

[scorrpeio]

Can anybody please tell me, any library function available in C to get the no of bytes in File.

You can seek to end of file using fseek and then use ftell.
In Windows you can use the GetFileSize and GetFileSizeEx APIs

There's also stat and fstat in the standard C library.

If you have MSDN help installed you will find IoDeviceControl relating to DISK_GEOMETRY is provided with a small piece of code that should be compiled and run just fine to produce what you intend to achieve. Otherwise please visit MSDN homepage for the source is also available out there.

this function will give file size in the remote machine with little modification u can use it for local machine also
FileSize (string sMachine, string Path, unsigned long &iSize)
{
HANDLE hFile = NULL; // the file handle

BOOL bFlag; // a result holder

__int64 liFileSize;

QueryPerformanceCounter((LARGE_INTEGER*)&liFileSize);

__int64 liFileSizeTot=0;

char esc1[5]="\\\\";

char esc2[3]="\\";

char fullFilePath[MAX_PATH +1];

sPstPath.replace (1,1,"$");

strcpy (fullFilePath,esc1);

strcat(fullFilePath,sMachine.c_str () );

strcat(fullFilePath,esc2);

strcat(fullFilePath,sPstPath.c_str ());

try
{

hFile = CreateFile( fullFilePath,
GENERIC_READ,
FILE_SHARE_READ,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
NULL,
NULL);
}
catch(...)
{



}

if(GetFileSizeEx(hFile, (LARGE_INTEGER*)&liFileSize))
{
iSize=liFileSize;

}
else
{




}
bFlag = CloseHandle(hFile);

if (!bFlag)
{


}

return 0;
}
