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.
