Any plans for adding support for sparse files?

[tastewar]

I am looking forward to using llfio to port a project that was originally written for Windows and which uses unbuffered i/o to be able to run on Windows and Linux. One thing that would make that job easier would be to be able to mark blocks as sparse and query the file about sparse ranges within the file. Just curious if you have plans to add any functions for that. Thanks!

Like file_handle::zero() and file_handle::extents()?

Oh! Yes, a lot like that! :-)

All my searching was on sparse, and I was coming up empty. Thank you!
