关于获得文件大小的函数

#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#define FILENAME "test.lod"

int main(void)
{
   struct stat statbuf;
   FILE *stream;

   /* open a file for update */
   if ((stream = fopen(FILENAME, "r")) == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open output file.\n");
      return(1);
   }

   /* get information about the file */
   stat(FILENAME, &statbuf);

   fclose(stream);

   printf("Size of file in bytes: %ld\n", statbuf.st_size);
   printf("Time file last opened: %s\n", ctime(&statbuf.st_ctime));
   return 0;
}

上述函数虽然能够获得文件大小，但是仅限于在单线程中，如果在多线程中使用stat函数获得文件大小，偶尔会出现文件大小为0的现象。下面的函数反而实用。

#include <stdio.h>
#include <time.h>

#define FILENAME "test.lod"

int main(void)
{
   FILE *stream;
   long length;

   /* open a file for update */
   if ((stream = fopen(FILENAME, "r")) == NULL)
   {
      fprintf(stderr, "Cannot open output file.\n");
      return(1);
   }

   fseek(stream, 0L, SEEK_END);
   length = ftell(stream);

   fclose(stream);

   printf("Size of file in bytes: %ld\n", length);
   return 0;
}
