SYNOPSIS


truncate OPTION... FILE...

DESCRIPTION


Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size

A FILE argument that does not exist is created.

If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost. If a FILE is
shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads as zero bytes.

Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.

-c, --no-create
do not create any files

-o, --io-blocks
treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes

-r, --reference=RFILE
base size on RFILE

-s, --size=SIZE
set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes

--help display this help and exit

--version
output version information and exit

The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024). Units are
K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).

SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters: '+' extend by, '-'
reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least, '/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to
multiple of.
