The -r option can also cause the files to be extended (not
necessarily truncated).


# 162792 29-Sep-2006 ru

Markup fixes.


# 157614 09-Apr-2006 pjd

Allow to specify size in terabytes by using T or t suffix.
This speeds up my testing a bit. Because truncate(1) doesn't allocate
blocks on file system before they are used, it is very useful to
emulate huge file systems:

# truncate -s 16T fs.img
# mdconfig -a -f fs.img
# newfs /dev/mdX

(-t swap can be used as well)


# 140368 17-Jan-2005 ru

Added the EXIT STATUS section where appropriate.


# 132542 22-Jul-2004 le

Make size suffix case insensitive.

page" were written by the author.
