ftruncate64 is already used for 32-bit CPUs, ftruncate for 64-bit cpus
You can get info

In our previous episode, Peter said:
Thanks for that. So is it a bug then? Why is 64-bit not using ftruncate64?
I'm no linux expert, but I assume because it is only for 32-bit. On 64-bit,
off_t already is 64-bit, so the posix template matches 1:1, and there is no
need for another function.
Truncate procedure unable to work under Linux, is this a bug?
This code is unable to work under linux: the Truncate drops an error

It produce the same error message under Ubuntu 12.04 32

but even that does not work with files 2Gb on unix, because the underlying
system call does not support it.
I don't know what happens on Windows.
On windows it should be
