'''ftruncate''' is a command in [TclX]: From the man pages: : '''ftruncate''' [['''-fileid''']] ''file newsize'' Truncate ''file'' to have a length of at most ''newsize'' bytes. If the option '''-fileid''' is specified, ''file'' is an open file identifier, otherwise it is a file path. This command is not available or not fully functional if the underlying operating system support is not available. The command '''[infox] have_truncate''' will indicate if this command may truncate by file path. The command '''[infox] have_ftruncate''' will indicate if this command may truncate by file id. The '''-fileid''' option is not available on Windows 95/NT. ---- [MHo] 10-Nov-2008: what about a '''[file] truncate ''' subcommand in the core? ---- !!!!!! %| [Category Command], package [TclX] |% !!!!!!
