-Usage: trunc [-b blocksize] size file(s)
- trunc [--help|-h|--version|-v]
-
-Files will be truncated to the given size. Size is given in bytes
-by default, but another block size may also be spesified. If a
-file was originally larger than the given size, the rest of it
-is lost. If it was smaller, the newly created part of the file
-will be filled with zeroes (sparse if supported by the system).
-If a file doesn't exist, an empty (sparse) file is created with
-the given size and name.
-
-Size is given directly to dd as a count and the optional blocksize
-as bs; refer to your system's dd documentation for possible special
-formatting options.
-
-EOF
-exit 0

-# In practice, trunc is a small convenience wrapper for dd, which
-# does the entire actual job. The dd recipe isn't all that complicated
-# either, but hey, this is still more convenient and some of us find
-# ourselves wanting to do this from time to time.
-
-# Technically, we rely on the fact that dd per default (without
-# conv=notrunc) truncates the output file after completing its other
-# tasks. We merely tell dd to seek the output file to the given
-# position and write nothing.
-
-# There are some idiosyncracies in this script; most of them can be
-# explained by me having started scripting first in the mid-90s and
-# not bothering to properly find out which of the nicer constructs
-# are bashims (which I want to avoid). Yeah, I'm a lazy bastard.
-
-# History:
-
-# 1.0 Initial release. Slightly cleaned up from rc1 though
-# no actual bugs were found. While cleaning, added also
-# -v and -h.
-# 1.0rc1 Initial release candidate. Will be named 1.0 later if
-# no bugs are found.
-
-
-# Make sure locale settings don't interfere. Might need to rethink and
-# isolate this setting to smaller parts of the script if this ever gets
-# localized, but for now, it's okay. (Probably unnecessary in this
-# script anyway, I don't _think_ we're doing anything locale-spesific,
-# but I've taken this habit to be sure. Doesn't hurt.)
