Previously we copied `dd` and suppressed error messages when truncating neither regular files or shared mem objects. This was valid for `dd`, as truncation is ancillary to copying it may also do, but for `truncate` we should display all errors. Also we used the st_size from non regular files which is undefined, so we display an error when the user tries this. * src/truncate (do_truncate): Error when referencing the size of non regular files or non shared memory objects. Display all errors returned by ftruncate(). (main): Error when referencing the size of non regular files or non shared memory objects. Don't suppress error messages for any file types that can't be opened for writing. * tests/misc/truncate-dir-fail: Check that referencing the size of a directory is not supported. * tests/misc/truncate-fifo: Ensure the test doesn't hang by using the `timeout` command. Don't test the return from running ftruncate on the fifo as it's system dependent as to whether this fails or not. NEWS: Mention the change in behavior. Reported by Jim Meyering.
