## (K) LARGE FILE SUPPORT (for raster maps)

GRASS GIS includes improved support for reading and writing large files
(> 2GB) if it is possible in your operating system. If you compile with

```bash
configure [...] --enable-largefile
```

you should be able to have raster and vector maps which are larger than 2GB.

While most code has been updated, individual programs may not yet work with
large files - please report.
