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.
