Idiom #199 Truncate a file at the current file position

Truncate a file F at the given file position.

use std::io::Seek;

let pos = f.stream_position()?;
f.set_len(pos)?;

using System.IO;

var F = new FileStream("F", FileMode.Open)
// advance into F here
F.SetLength(F.Position);

import 'dart:io';

File(F).openSync(mode: FileMode.write).truncateSync(position);

import "os"

err := os.Truncate(F, position)

Truncate(F);

use Path::Tiny qw(path);

my $F = path('F')->openrw;
# ... read some from $F to advance
# position of file handle (not shown) ...
truncate $F, tell $F;

F.truncate(F.tell())

F.truncate(F.pos)

Do you know the best way to do this in your language ? New implementation...
