Subject: Missing error values in ftruncate and fallocate man pages?
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 2026 18:52:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e53daaf2-3658-4645-ba29-fa488bec5ed8@mailbox.org> (raw)

Hello,

I noticed that the man page for truncate(2) does not list the error codes
ENOSPC and EDQUOT, but I would think those should be potentially possible
when actually expanding a file (may depend on file system?).

Similarly, fallocate(2) also does not list EDQUOT (ENOSPC is there however).
Finally, posix_fallocate(3) has no EDQUOT as well, and EIO also seems to be
missing for this one.

Or am I overlooking something?

Thanks,
Zeno Endemann
