Bug description:  ftruncate poorly named, suggest alias

The ftruncate function is poorly named, as it can be used to enlarge a
file, not just truncate it. I suggest creating an alias to this function,
"fresize", to make it clear that a file can be arbitrarially resized. I
also suggest that the manual be updated to indicate that ftruncate can
enlarge a file as well: "Changes a file's size", rather than, "truncates a
file to a given length.
