Yes, it is, but that doesn't mean that it's a good name. I'm not
suggesting renaming ftruncate. All I want is an alias like fresize so
that when looking at the function list, it's easier to find this
function, and the documentation updated so that it's clear that
ftruncate can make a file larger. Try doing a search for "resize file"
or "change file size" on the website. You won't find anything useful.

The ftruncate function is poorly named, as it can be used to enlarge a
file, not just truncate it. I suggest creating an alias to this
function, "fresize", to make it clear that a file can be arbitrarially
resized. I also suggest that the manual be updated to indicate that
ftruncate can enlarge a file as well: "Changes a file's size", rather
than, "truncates a file to a given length.
