| Date: | Sat, 22 Jun 2013 04:05:29 +0800 |
Package: coreutils
Version: 8.13-3.3
File: /usr/share/man/man1/truncate.1.gz
X-debbugs-CC: address@hidden
$ truncate /tmp/erere
truncate: you must specify either `--size' or `--reference'
What a shock. Not mentioned on man or info pages!
And
truncate OPTION... FILE...
should be
truncate <--size|--ref...> <number> [OPTION...] FILE...
Also mention size is in bytes. Don't just hope the reader will examine
every options' wording to ferret that out.
