open and get exact size of existing memory mapped file on windows
There is one of our service log file which mapped to memory. I have
another application tracing some regex on log file, so I need to get log
file size periodically and read coming lines if any. I check log file size
by ftell() to get size in bytes however it returns 4mb since it is mapped
to 4mb are I guess. My logic simply like below:
FILE *f = fopen("logfile.log", "r")
fseek(f, previousEnd, SEEK_SET)
// ftell() always returns 4mb when actual file size is less than 4mb
// I need to get exact size of log file
currentEnd = ftell(f)
//read from previousEnd to currentEnd with fread
previousEnd = currentEnd
Is there a way to get exact size of existing mapped files in bytes on
windows? Any suggestion and idea appreciated. Thanks.
