eio_truncate — Truncate a file

### Description

resource eio_truncate ( string `$path` [, int `$offset` = 0 [, int `$pri` = EIO_PRI_DEFAULT [, callable `$callback` = NULL [, mixed `$data` = NULL ]]]] )

eio_truncate() causes the regular file named by `path` to be truncated to a size of precisely `length` bytes

### Parameters

`path`

  File path

`offset`

  Offset from beginning of the file.

`pri`

  The request priority: `EIO_PRI_DEFAULT`, `EIO_PRI_MIN`, `EIO_PRI_MAX`, or `NULL`. If `NULL` passed, `pri` internally is set to `EIO_PRI_DEFAULT`.

`callback`

  `callback` function is called when the request is done. It should match the following prototype:

  `void callback(mixed $data, int $result[, resource $req]);`
  `data`

    is custom data passed to the request.

  `result`

    request-specific result value; basically, the value returned by corresponding system call.

  `req`

    is optional request resource which can be used with functions like eio_get_last_error()

`data`

  Arbitrary variable passed to `callback`.

### Return Values

eio_busy() returns request resource on success or `FALSE` on error.
