<p>The <strong>ftruncate64()</strong> function truncates the file indicated by
|
|
the open file descriptor <em>file_descriptor</em> to the indicated <em>
|
|
length</em>. <em>file_descriptor</em> must be a "regular file" that is open for
|
|
writing. (A regular file is a stream file that can support positioning the file
|
|
offset.) If the file size exceeds <em>length</em>, any extra data is discarded.
|
|
If the file size is smaller than <em>length</em>, the file is extended and
|
|
filled with binary zeros to the indicated length. (In the QSYS.LIB and
|
|
independent ASP QSYS.LIB file systems, blanks are used instead of zeros to pad
|
|
records after a member is extended.)
|
|
The <strong>ftruncate64()</strong> function does not modify the current file offset
|
|
for any open file descriptions associated with the file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>ftruncate64()</strong> is enabled for large files. It is capable of
|
|
operating on files larger than 2GB minus 1 byte as long as the file has been
|
|
opened by either of the following:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul compact>
|
|
<li>Using the <strong>open64()</strong> function (see <a href="open64.htm">
|
|
open64()--Open File (Large File Enabled)</a>).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Using the <strong>open()</strong> function (see <a href="open.htm">
|
|
open()--Open File</a>) with the O_LARGEFILE flag set in the oflag
|
|
parameter.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If <strong>ftruncate64()</strong> completes successfully, it marks the
|
|
change time and modification times of the file. If <strong>
|
|
ftruncate64()</strong> is not successful, the file is unchanged.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>For additional information about parameters, authorities, error conditions,
|
|
and examples, see <a href="ftruncat.htm">ftruncate()--Truncate File</a>.</p>

<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>For file systems that do support large files, this function will fail with
|
|
the [EFBIG] error if the <em>length</em> specified is greater than 2GB minus 1
|
|
byte and O_LARGEFILE is not set in the oflag.<br><br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>For file systems that do not support large files, this function will fail
|
|
with the [EINVAL] error if the <em>length</em> specified is greater than 2GB
|
|
minus 1 byte.<br><br>

|
|
<li>QFileSvr.400 File System Differences
|
|
|
|
<p>Although QFileSvr.400 does not support large files, it will return [EFBIG]
|

if the <em>length</em> specified is greater than 2GB minus 1 byte.</p>

</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>When you develop in C-based languages, the prototypes for the 64-bit APIs
|
|
are normally hidden. To use the <strong>ftruncate64()</strong> API and the
|
|
off64_t data type, you must compile the source with _LARGE_FILE_API
|
|
defined.<br><br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>All of the usage notes for <strong>ftruncate()</strong> apply to <strong>
|
|
ftruncate64()</strong>. See <a href="ftruncat.htm#HDRFTRNUSG">Usage Notes</a>
|
|
in the <strong>ftruncate()</strong> API.</li>
