given to the completion callback. A file descriptor can also be passed as the
first argument. In this case, `fs.ftruncate()` is called.

```mjs
import { truncate } from 'fs';
// Assuming that 'path/file.txt' is a regular file.
truncate('path/file.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('path/file.txt was truncated');
});
```

```cjs
const { truncate } = require('fs');
// Assuming that 'path/file.txt' is a regular file.
truncate('path/file.txt', (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log('path/file.txt was truncated');
});
```

Passing a file descriptor is deprecated and may result in an error being thrown
in the future.
