Question

Accepted Answer

The fopen, fseek, and other file handling functions in Linux are implemented using various techniques and constraints.

fopen function is used to open a file and returns a file pointer
fseek function is used to set the file position indicator
Other file handling functions like fread, fwrite, fclose, etc. are used for reading, writing, and closing files
To handle large files, techniques like memory mapping, buffered I/O, and asynchronous I/O can be used
Memory mapping allows accessing large files directly from disk to memory
Buffered I/O uses a buffer to reduce the number of disk accesses
Asynchronous I/O allows performing file operations concurrently with other tasks
Constraints like file permissions, file size limitations, and file system limitations should be considered
