<div dir="ltr">Hey all,<div>I am looking for a good way to measure the size of a large integer for instance when I run my program on /tmp I get:</div><div><br></div><div><div>pdudzins@gits:~/cs631/midterm$ ./a.out -l /tmp</div>

<div><div><br></div><div> nlen_size = sizeof(a->fts_statp->st_size);</div><div> if (nlen_size > len_size)</div><div> len_size = nlen_size;</div></div><div><br></div><div>And I keep getting 8 instead of 10 which I am pretty sure the 8 bytes it takes to store an int...</div>
<div><br></div><div>Has anyone tried casting this as a character array and taking the size that way? Is there a library function that will just do this?</div><div><br></div></div>
