in thread Portable filesize check? (Win32)
there are things like sparse, encrypted and compressed files, where there's no obvious size to reportAn operating system should not know anything about the contents of a file. What it should know is how many bytes on a disk that file occupies. So, the sparsity, encryptedness, or compressedness should not hinder the OS from knowing how many bytes that files takes up on disk.
