Very Computer

I have upgraded from aix 3.2.5 to 4.2.1 and installed the C compiler.
A function "chsize" appears to be missing ?
Does anyone have any idea what this function is now called ???

Any help appreciated

What is it supposed to do?  I had written a shell script named "chsize"
which patched the XCOFF headers of an executable to make it a "large"
executable, but I've never see a C language function named chsize().

If you're thinking about the script I just mentioned it is basically
a read() of the appropriate XCOFF sections, an assignment statement,
and a write().  Worked great for me ;-)

Chsize is a leftover from old XENIX days, I believe. The generic Unix call
to set the size of a file is ftruncate.
