Hello,
I'm using FreeBSD release 2.1.0, and it seems the ftruncate
function doesn't work:
here is a small exemple that doesn't work as i think it should:
-- Exemple -----------------------------------------------------------
#include <fcntl.h>
main() {
int fd;
fd = open("/tmp/pp01234", O_RDWR | O_CREAT , 0600);
if (ftruncate(fd,0)<0) {
perror("truncate");
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this program ouputs:
truncate: invalid argument
i've tried both truncate and ftruncate with various values as argument
and i've never managed to have the function succeed.
Tripwire doesn't work too, because it uses ftruncate
(it says: truncate(): invalid argument, and dies)
Is it a bug ? or can you tell me where i'm wrong ?
Thanks in advance,
--
