Sets the size on disk of the specified file to the specified length.
int _FCHSize(FCHAN chan, long length) FCHAN chan; /* File to change. */ long length; /* New length for the file in bytes. */ |
Remarks
The specified length may extend or truncate the file. _FCHSize( ) returns 0 if it's successful in changing the length of the file, or – 1 if it fails.
