I thought it would do the obvious, like touch does.
NAME
touch - change file timestamps
SYNOPSIS
touch [OPTION]... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Update the access and modification times of each FILE to the current
time.
A FILE argument that does not exist is created empty, unless -c or -h
is supplied.
NAME
truncate - shrink or extend the size of a file to the specified size
SYNOPSIS
truncate OPTION... FILE...
DESCRIPTION
Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
Who would have guessed that for some reason an argument is required,
I don't see why
$ truncate FILE
cannot just work too.
You know, to truncate the file, to zero bytes.
But hey I'm not a pro.
