Then you should tell the persons making the Pascal binding that they did
wrong.

It is the type you should use for the *_LARGE options. The type is provided by
libcurl's headers. You (as in the app) should not have to figure out what kind
it is unless very rare cases.

It is made a suitable type to hold 64bit numbers, but the exact representation
depends on your environment. Which is another reason why you should use
exactly curl_off_t and no other type, as then you'll know it will work fine on
all platforms libcurl runs on.
