A/UX inherits support for file size limits from System V,
which provides a ulimit(2) system call that allows a process
to query and set its file size limit (among other things).
The ulimit(2) file size is defined in 512-byte blocks and
may only be increased if you're root.
The default limit in A/UX is equivalent to 8 GB, which exceeds
the size which you may actually create since the file offset is
an unsigned long (32-bits).
Let me know if you ever create a 2 GB file. :->
