How-to get file size (data fork)

Hi all!

I'm trying to get the exact number of bytes of a BIG file (2,78 MB).
If I use "get eof of...", I get a real number, which some times (tested with
other files) is not exact.

I've been trying, too, a shell command:

wc -c /path/to/file

But this returns a negative number:

-1307881474 /path/to/file

Is this a bug in the shell, a limit? Any workaround?

Tx!
