fallocate: new applet

NAME
       fallocate - preallocate or deallocate space to a file
SYNOPSIS
       fallocate [-c|-p|-z] [-o offset] -l length [-n] filename
       fallocate -d [-o offset] [-l length] filename
DESCRIPTION
       fallocate  is  used  to manipulate the allocated disk space for a file,
       either to deallocate or preallocate it.  For filesystems which  support
       the  fallocate system call, preallocation is done quickly by allocating
       blocks and marking them as uninitialized, requiring no IO to  the  data
       blocks.   This  is  much faster than creating a file by filling it with
       zeroes.

+
+//Upstream options:
+//The options --collapse-range, --dig-holes, --punch-hole and --zero-range
+//are mutually exclusive.
+//-c, --collapse-range
+//    Removes a byte range from a file, without leaving a hole. The byte range
+//    to be collapsed starts at offset and continues for length bytes.
+//    At the completion of the operation, the contents of the file starting
+//    at the location offset+length will be appended at the location offset,
+//    and the file will be length bytes smaller. The option --keep-size may
+//    not be specified for the collapse-range operation.
+//-d, --dig-holes
+//    Detect and dig holes. This makes the file sparse in-place, without using
+//    extra disk space. The minimum size of the hole depends on filesystem I/O
+//    block size (usually 4096 bytes). Also,
+//-l, --length length
+//    Specifies the length of the range, in bytes.
+//-n, --keep-size
+//    Do not modify the apparent length of the file. This may effectively
+//    allocate blocks past EOF, which can be removed with a truncate.
+//-o, --offset offset
+//    Specifies the beginning offset of the range, in bytes.
+//-p, --punch-hole
+//    Deallocates space (i.e., creates a hole) in the byte range starting
+//    at offset and continuing for length bytes. Within the specified range,
+//    partial filesystem blocks are zeroed, and whole
+//    filesystem blocks are removed from the file. After a successful call,
+//    subsequent reads from this range will return zeroes. This option may not
+//    be specified at the same time as the
+//    --zero-range option. Also, when using this option, --keep-size is implied.
+//-z, --zero-range
+//    Zeroes space in the byte range starting at offset and continuing for
+//    length bytes. Within the specified range, blocks are preallocated for
+//    the regions that span the holes in the file. After
+//    a successful call, subsequent reads from this range will return zeroes.
+//    Zeroing is done within the filesystem preferably by converting the range
+//    into unwritten extents. This approach means that the specified range
+//    will not be physically zeroed out on the device (except for partial
+//    blocks at the either end of the range), and I/O is (otherwise) required
+//    only to update metadata.
+//    Option --keep-size can be specified to prevent file length modification.
