If the file -was larger than this size, the extra data -is lost. -If the file was smaller than this size, -it will be extended as if by writing bytes -with the value zero. -With -.Fn ftruncate , -the file must be open for writing. -.Sh RETURN VALUES -A value of 0 is returned if the call succeeds. If the call -fails a -1 is returned, and the global variable -.Va errno -specifies the error. -.Sh ERRORS -.Fn Truncate -succeeds unless: -.Bl -tag -width [ENOTDIR] -.It Bq Er ENOTDIR -A component of the path prefix is not a directory. -.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG -A component of a pathname exceeded 255 characters, -or an entire path name exceeded 1023 characters. -.It Bq Er ENOENT -The named file does not exist. -.It Bq Er EACCES -Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix. -.It Bq Er EACCES -The named file is not writable by the user. -.It Bq Er ELOOP -Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname. -.It Bq Er EISDIR -The named file is a directory. -.It Bq Er EROFS -The named file resides on a read-only file system. -.It Bq Er ETXTBSY -The file is a pure procedure (shared text) file that is being executed. -.It Bq Er EIO -An I/O error occurred updating the inode. -.It Bq Er EFAULT -.Fa Path -points outside the process's allocated address space. -.El -.Pp -.Fn Ftruncate -succeeds unless: -.Bl -tag -width [ENOTDIR] -.It Bq Er EBADF -The -.Fa fd -is not a valid descriptor. -.It Bq Er EINVAL -The -.Fa fd -references a socket, not a file. -.It Bq Er EINVAL -The -.Fa fd -is not open for writing. -.El -.Sh SEE ALSO -.Xr open 2 -.Sh BUGS -These calls should be generalized to allow ranges -of bytes in a file to be discarded. -.Pp -Use of -.Fn truncate -to extend a file is not portable. -.Sh HISTORY -The -.Fn truncate -function call appeared in -.Bx 4.2 . |
