The contents of the file beyond * the range being removed is appended to the start offset of the range * being removed (i.e. the hole that was punched is "collapsed"), * resulting in a file layout that looks like the range that was * removed never existed. As such collapsing a range of a file changes * the size of the file, reducing it by the same length of the range * that has been removed by the operation. * * Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the * granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to * filesystem block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or * smaller depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the * filesystem or file. * * Attempting to collapse a range that crosses the end of the file is * considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) if you need * to collapse a range that crosses EOF. */ #define FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE 0x08 #endif /* _UAPI_FALLOC_H_ */
