.SH NAME
\fBtruncate\fR - Shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtruncate\fR [\fB-c\fR] \fB-s\fI size file...\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBtruncate\fR shrinks or extends the size of each \fIfile\fR to the
specified size. A \fIfile\fR argument that does not exist is created.
If a \fIfile\fR is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost.
If a \fIfile\fR is shorter, it is extended and the extended part (hole) reads
as zero bytes.
