(just run bf clearfile.b > filename) 03:57:00 hmm, no that wouldn't make it completely empty. forget about that 03:57:04 int main(int argc, char **argv) { int i; for (i = 1; argv[i]; i++) truncate(argv[i], 0); } 04:56:53 -!- kipple has quit (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out)). 05:15:23 -!- calamari has joined. 05:56:59 open(argv[i], O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC) would be a lot more impressive than some puny fopen().
