/*
* FALLOC_FL_COLLAPSE_RANGE is used to remove a range of a file
* without leaving a hole in the file. The contents of the file beyond
* the range being removed is appended to the start offset of the range
* being removed (i.e. the hole that was punched is "collapsed"),
* resulting in a file layout that looks like the range that was
* removed never existed. As such collapsing a range of a file changes
* the size of the file, reducing it by the same length of the range
* that has been removed by the operation.
*
* Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the
* granularity of the operation. Most will limit operations to
* filesystem block size boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or
* smaller depending on the filesystem and/or the configuration of the
* filesystem or file.
*
* Attempting to collapse a range that crosses the end of the file is
* considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) if you need
* to collapse a range that crosses EOF.

/*
* FALLOC_FL_ZERO_RANGE is used to convert a range of file to zeros preferably
* without issuing data IO. Blocks should be preallocated for the regions that
* span holes in the file, and the entire range is preferable converted to
* unwritten extents - even though file system may choose to zero out the
* extent or do whatever which will result in reading zeros from the range
* while the range remains allocated for the file.
*
* This can be also used to preallocate blocks past EOF in the same way as
* with fallocate. Flag FALLOC_FL_KEEP_SIZE should cause the inode
* size to remain the same.

/*
* FALLOC_FL_INSERT_RANGE is use to insert space within the file size without
* overwriting any existing data. The contents of the file beyond offset are
* shifted towards right by len bytes to create a hole. As such, this
* operation will increase the size of the file by len bytes.
*
* Different filesystems may implement different limitations on the granularity
* of the operation. Most will limit operations to filesystem block size
* boundaries, but this boundary may be larger or smaller depending on
* the filesystem and/or the configuration of the filesystem or file.
*
* Attempting to insert space using this flag at OR beyond the end of
* the file is considered an illegal operation - just use ftruncate(2) or
* fallocate(2) with mode 0 for such type of operations.
