11.6.1.2147 RESIZE-FILE FILE

( ud fileid -- ior )

Set the size of the file identified by fileid to ud. ior is the implementation-defined I/O result code.

If the resultant file is larger than the file before the operation, the portion of the file added as a result of the operation might not have been written.

At the conclusion of the operation, FILE-SIZE returns the value ud and FILE- POSITION returns an unspecified value.
