1.2.7.4.21 SYS_FS_FileTruncate Function

SYS_FS_RESULT SYS_FS_FileTruncate
(
    SYS_FS_HANDLE handle
);

Truncates a file

This function truncates the file size to the current file read/write pointer. This function has no effect if the file read/write pointer is already pointing to end of the file.

A valid file handle has to be passed as input to the function. The file has to be opened in a mode where writes to file is possible (such as read plus or write mode).

SYS_FS_RES_SUCCESS - File truncate operation was successful.

SYS_FS_RES_FAILURE - File truncate operation was unsuccessful. The reason for the failure can be retrieved with SYS_FS_Error or SYS_FS_FileError.
