The Set Stream File Size (QHFSETSZ) API sets the size of a stream file in bytes. Applications can use the QHFSETSZ API to increase or decrease the size of a stream file that has been opened with write only or read/write access.
Existing locks on the file are maintained. If the entire file is locked, you cannot change its size. If part of the file is locked, the new size cannot interfere with the locked part. The description of the file size parameter discusses these restrictions.
None.
The handle returned from the Open Stream File (QHFOPNSF) API when the file was opened. The file must have been opened with write only or read/write access.
The size to make the file, in bytes. The size cannot start or end within a range of bytes locked in deny write or deny read/write mode, and it cannot extend beyond a locked range. If a locked range was not previously within the file, the file cannot be extended to include that range. If a locked range is within the file, the file cannot be truncated to exclude that range.
When the file size is increased, the file system may not define the value of the new bytes. When the file size is decreased, the data in the truncated part of the file is lost.
The structure in which to return error information. For the format of the structure, see Error code parameter.
