Subject: [9fans] how to truncate a file?
Date: Fri, 15 Oct 2004 09:29:49 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7120ecbe8d685456cf35dc5578209eca@orthanc.cc.titech.ac.jp> (raw)
Is there an idiom for truncationg a file in Plan 9?
I'm suspecting it's not easy because APE ftruncate is written as:
/sys/src/ape/lib/ap/plan9/ftruncate.c
int
ftruncate(int fd, off_t length)
{
errno = EINVAL;
return -1;
}
There is OTRUNC mode, but I would like to chop off a file from
a certain position to the end of the file.
