An unlink of the file by name does not invalidate the data, but a
truncate certainly is a realtime operation. If you are reading a file,
say foo.tmp, and I do "date >foo.tmp" the previous contents are gone,
and you will not read more data. You might have data in a buffer, but
the file is gone.
Since this was a Windows file, I make no assumptions about the
behaviour.
