+.B truncate

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.\" Add any additional description here
+.PP
+Shrink or extend the size of each FILE to the specified size
+.PP
+A FILE argument that does not exist is created.
+.PP
+If a FILE is larger than the specified size, the extra data is lost.
+If a FILE is shorter, it is extended and the sparse extended part (hole)
+reads as zero bytes.
+.PP
+Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-no\-create\fR
+do not create any files
+.TP
+\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-io\-blocks\fR
+treat SIZE as number of IO blocks instead of bytes
+.TP
+\fB\-r\fR, \fB\-\-reference\fR=\fI\,RFILE\/\fR
+base size on RFILE
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR, \fB\-\-size\fR=\fI\,SIZE\/\fR
+set or adjust the file size by SIZE bytes
+.TP
+\fB\-\-help\fR

+.TP
+\fB\-\-version\fR
+output version information and exit
+.PP
+The SIZE argument is an integer and optional unit (example: 10K is 10*1024).
+Units are K,M,G,T,P,E,Z,Y (powers of 1024) or KB,MB,... (powers of 1000).
+Binary prefixes can be used, too: KiB=K, MiB=M, and so on.
+.PP
+SIZE may also be prefixed by one of the following modifying characters:
+\&'+' extend by, '\-' reduce by, '<' at most, '>' at least,
+\&'/' round down to multiple of, '%' round up to multiple of.
