procedure

(truncate-file file [n-bytes])  void?

  file : path-string?
  n-bytes : exact-nonnegative-integer? = 0
Truncates or extends the given file so that it is n-bytes long. If the file does not exist, or if the process does not have sufficient privilege to truncate the file, the exn:fail exception is raised.

The truncate-file function is implemented in terms of racket/base’s file-truncate.
