[u3b.misc] System V ftruncate

theobald@cbnewsk.ATT.COM (glenn.theobald) (03/24/90)

I am looking for a System V emulation of the BSD ftruncate().

I saw one somewhere on the net over a year ago (possibly 1988) 
and did not save a copy.

Would the original poster, or some other kind soul who kept a copy
of the article forward it to me.

The enulation used the reserved (and undocumented) F_FREESP fnctl
call.

Thanks,

Glenn Theobald

I was having some trouble compiling GNUtar and one of the functions was
ftruncate(). If you need a copy of that function check wuarchive...
