I can't recall exact code from httpd, but how about libexec/ftpd:
...
extern off_t restart_point;
...
if (restart_point) {
if (type == TYPE_A) {
off_t i, n;
int c;
n = restart_point;
i = 0;
while (i++ < n) {
if ((c = getc(fin)) == EOF) {
if (ferror(fin)) {
perror_reply(550, name);
goto done;
} else
break;
}
if (c == '\n')
i++;
}
} else if (lseek(fileno(fin), restart_point, SEEK_SET) < 0) {
perror_reply(550, name);
goto done;
}
}
...
Above code effectively results in inability to REST beyond 2Gb on
i386 however sequential read from position 0 will be ok.
