Fix fallocate(1) manpage |
|
|
|
To be honest, I had a little misunderstanding of the fallocate(1)- |
|
utility. |
|
It turns out that it only adds preallocated space if the length |
|
exceeds the size of an already existing file. |
|
No truncation happens. |
|
|
|
Thus, I fixed the wording accordingly. |
