   truncate    ( 1 )

уменьшить или увеличить размер файла до указанного размера (shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size)

Имя (Name)

truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified
       size

Синопсис (Synopsis)

truncate OPTION... FILE...

Описание (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 sparse 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). Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.

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.
