Done.
Now, maybe this isn't as easy in Rev as it is in C and *many* other
languages. But it should be [if it isn't].
That is *exactly* the problem - Rev doesn't expose ftruncate() (or
ftell() either), so what should be very simple becomes very difficult.
In C, or Python, or even shell it is simple, but Rev's incomplete
interface to the file system causes the problem.
I opened a RQCC report (#1851) in 2004 to request the enhancement of
providing a way to get the file position (i.e. ftell()). That report
remains "Unconfirmed".
Given that response, I have not chosen to waste any time entering an
enhancement request for truncate.
