+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Fn Truncate
+causes the file named by
+.Fa path
+or referenced by
+.Fa fd
+to be truncated to at most
+.Fa length
+bytes in size.  If the file previously
+was larger than this size, the extra data
+is lost.
+With
+.Fn ftruncate ,
+the file must be open for writing.
+.Sh RETURN VALUES
+A value of 0 is returned if the call succeeds.  If the call
+fails a -1 is returned, and the global variable
+.Va errno
+specifies the error.
+.Sh ERRORS

+succeeds unless:
+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er ENOTDIR
+A component of the path prefix is not a directory.
+.It Bq Er ENAMETOOLONG

+.Dv {NAME_MAX}
+characters, or an entire path name exceeded 
+.Dv {PATH_MAX}
+characters.
+.It Bq Er ENOENT
+The named file does not exist.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+Search permission is denied for a component of the path prefix.
+.It Bq Er EACCES
+The named file is not writable by the user.
+.It Bq Er ELOOP
+Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating the pathname.
+.It Bq Er EISDIR
+The named file is a directory.
+.It Bq Er EROFS
+The named file resides on a read-only file system.
+.It Bq Er ETXTBSY
+The file is a pure procedure (shared text) file that is being executed.
+.It Bq Er EIO
+An I/O error occurred updating the inode.
+.It Bq Er EFAULT
+.Fa Path
+points outside the process's allocated address space.

+.Bl -tag -width Er
+.It Bq Er EBADF
+The
+.Fa fd
+is not a valid descriptor.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL

+references a socket, not a file.
+.It Bq Er EINVAL
+The
+.Fa fd

+.Xr open 2
+.Sh BUGS
+These calls should be generalized to allow ranges
+of bytes in a file to be discarded.
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Fn truncate
+and
+.Fn ftruncate
+function calls appeared in
+.Bx 4.2 .
