-@node Truncating Files
-@section Change the size of a file
-
-In some situations it is useful to explicitly determine the size of a
-file.  Since the 4.2BSD days there is a function to truncate a file to
-at most a given number of bytes and POSIX defines one additional
-function.  The prototypes for these functions are in @file{unistd.h}.

-@deftypefun int truncate (const char *@var{name}, off_t @var{length})
-The @code{truncation} function truncates the file named by @var{name} to
-at most @var{length} bytes.  I.e., if the file was larger before the
-extra bytes are stripped of.  If the file was small or equal to
-@var{length} in size before nothing is done.  The file must be writable
-by the user to perform this operation.
-
-When the source file is compiled with @code{_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64} the
-@code{truncate} function is in fact @code{truncate64} and the type
-@code{off_t} has 64 bits which makes it possible to handle files up to
-@math{2^63} bytes in length.
-
-The return value is zero is everything went ok.  Otherwise the return
-value is @math{-1} and the global variable @var{errno} is set to:
-@table @code
-@item EACCES
-The file is not accessible to the user.
-@item EINVAL
-The @var{length} value is illegal.
-@item EISDIR
-The object named by @var{name} is a directory.
-@item ENOENT
-The file named by @var{name} does not exist.
-@item ENOTDIR
-One part of the @var{name} is not a directory.
-@end table
-
-This function was introduced in 4.2BSD but also was available in later
-@w{System V} systems.  It is not added to POSIX since the authors felt
-it is only of marginally additional utility.  See below.

-@deftypefun int truncate64 (const char *@var{name}, off64_t @var{length})
-This function is similar to the @code{truncate} function.  The
-difference is that the @var{length} argument is 64 bits wide even on 32
-bits machines which allows to handle file with a size up to @math{2^63}
-bytes.
-
-When the source file is compiled with @code{_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64} on a
-32 bits machine this function is actually available under the name
-@code{truncate} and so transparently replaces the 32 bits interface.

-@comment POSIX
-@deftypefun int ftruncate (int @var{fd}, off_t @var{length})
-The @code{ftruncate} function is similar to the @code{truncate}
-function.  The main difference is that it takes a descriptor for an
-opened file instead of a file name to identify the object.  The file
-must be opened for writing to successfully carry out the operation.
-
-The POSIX standard leaves it implementation defined what happens if the
-specified new @var{length} of the file is bigger than the original size.
-The @code{ftruncate} function might simply leave the file alone and do
-nothing or it can increase the size to the desired size.  In this later
-case the extended area should be zero-filled.  So using @code{ftruncate}
-is no reliable way to increase the file size but if it is possible it is
-probably the fastest way.  The function also operates on POSIX shared
-memory segments if these are implemented by the system.
-
-When the source file is compiled with @code{_FILE_OFFSET_BITS == 64} the
-@code{ftruncate} function is in fact @code{ftruncate64} and the type
-@code{off_t} has 64 bits which makes it possible to handle files up to
-@math{2^63} bytes in length.
-
-On success the function returns zero.  Otherwise it returns @math{-1}
-and set @var{errno} to one of these values:
-@table @code
-@item EBADF
-@var{fd} is no valid file descriptor or is not opened for writing.
-@item EINVAL
-The object referred to by @var{fd} does not permit this operation.
-@item EROFS
-The file is on a read-only file system.
