I need the ftruncate(2) function from BSD4.3 UNIX on System V.3.2.
For non-BSD-manual-owners, here's the description of ftruncate(2):
* ftruncate (fd, length)
* int fd;
* long length;
*
* Ftruncate causes the file referenced by fd (a file descriptor of an
* file open for writing) to be truncated to at most length bytes in size.
* If the file previously was larger than the size, the extra data is lost.
Hint: I do *not* know the filename of the open file, of course :-)
Because I don't even know if there exists a solution, also a *proof* :-)
that no solution exists will be very helpfull to me (than I can start
rewriting the code around ftruncate() in my application :-( ).
