Added truncate(1) manpage; added comment about holes in du; removed
minix-vmd specificness of F_FREESP as minix now implements it too.

.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||||
The
|
||||
truncate
|
||||
utility adjusts the length of each regular file given on the command-line.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The following options are available:
|
||||
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
||||
.It Fl c
|
||||
Do not create files if they do not exist.
|
||||
The
|
||||
truncate
|
||||
utility does not treat this as an error.
|
||||
No error messages are displayed
|
||||
and the exit value is not affected.
|
||||
.It Fl r Ar rfile
|
||||
Truncate files to the length of the file
|
||||
.Ar rfile .
|
||||
.It Fl s Xo
|
||||
.Sm off
|
||||
.Op Cm + | -
|
||||
.Ar size
|
||||
.Op Cm K | k | M | m | G | g
|
||||
.Sm on
|
||||
.Xc
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Ar size
|
||||
argument is preceded by a plus sign
|
||||
.Pq Cm + ,
|
||||
files will be extended by this number of bytes.
|
||||
If the
|
||||
.Ar size
|
||||
argument is preceded by a dash
|
||||
.Pq Cm - ,
|
||||
file lengths will be reduced by no more than this number of bytes,
|
||||
to a minimum length of zero bytes.
|
||||
Otherwise, the
|
||||
.Ar size
|
||||
argument specifies an absolute length to which all files
|
||||
should be extended or reduced as appropriate.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
The
|
||||
.Ar size
|
||||
argument may be suffixed with one of
|
||||
.Cm K ,
|
||||
.Cm M
|
||||
or
|
||||
.Cm G
|
||||
(either upper or lower case) to indicate a multiple of
|
||||
Kilobytes, Megabytes or Gigabytes
|
||||
respectively.
|
||||
.El
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Exactly one of the
|
||||
.Fl r
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Fl s
|
||||
options must be specified.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
If a file is made smaller, its extra data is lost.
|
||||
If a file is made larger,
|
||||
it will be extended as if by writing bytes with the value zero.
|
||||
If the file does not exist,
|
||||
it is created unless the
|
||||
.Fl c
|
||||
option is specified.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Note that,
|
||||
while truncating a file causes space on disk to be freed,
|
||||
extending a file does not cause space to be allocated.
|
||||
To extend a file and actually allocate the space,
|
||||
it is necessary to explicitly write data to it,
|
||||
using (for example) the shell's
|
||||
.Ql >>
|
||||
redirection syntax, or
|
||||
.Xr dd 1 .
|
||||
.SH EXIT STATUS
|
||||
.Ex -std
|
||||
If the operation fails for an argument,
|
||||
truncate
|
||||
will issue a diagnostic
|
||||
and continue processing the remaining arguments.
