Subject: [9fans] how to truncate a file?
Topicbox-Message-UUID: ee86ca62-eacd-11e9-9e20-41e7f4b1d025

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.
