digitalmars.D - Writing large data to file

reply Domain <dont_email empty.com> writes:
I am writing a split-liked tool, and want to write some large 
data (>4GB) to a single file. But this is not possible while 
using std.file.write, at least on windows. And I need dig into 
the source code to find out the reason (Windows API WriteFile 
uses DWORD as the input size). So why not call WriteFile multiple 
times inside write function, or at least return the number of 
bytes has been written, than I can append the left myself.

Have you tried std.stdio.File? write or rawWrite should work: Ali

I know that. But I want to see an improvement in std.file.write, or at least the doc of it.
