As such collapsing a range of a file changes 15 * the size of the file, reducing it by the same length of the range 16 * that has been removed by the operation. 17 * 18 * Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the 19 * granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to 20 * filesystem block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or 21 * smaller depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the 22 * filesystem or file. 23 * 24 * Attempting to collapse a range that crosses the end of the file is 25 * considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) if you need 26 * to collapse a range that crosses EOF. 27 */ 28 #define FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE 0x08 29 30 /* 31 * FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably 32 * without issuing data IO.
