> DESCRIPTION
>        The truncate and ftruncate functions cause the regular file named by path or referenced by fd to be truncated to a size of precisely length bytes.
>        If the file previously was larger than this size, the extra data is lost.  If the file previously was shorter, it is extended, and the extended part reads as zero bytes.
>        The file pointer is not changed.
>        If the size changed, then the ctime and mtime fields for the file are updated, and suid and sgid mode bits may be cleared.
>        With ftruncate, the file must be open for writing; with truncate, the file must be writable.
> RETURN VALUE
>        On success, zero is returned.  On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
