Christiaan,

GDAL has no support for 64bit integer pixel types, nor for 64bit integer
attributes fields in OGR on features.  However, internally it does have
a 64bit integer type (GIntBig) used for file offsets and such.

I assume you were interested in it as a pixel data type, is that right?

Best regards,
