As mentioned in the duplicate bug #53337, IMO an alternative to an explicit ftruncate() can also be adding a dedicated output arg to fclose()

Many C standard library I/O functions are available in the Octave shell, but ftruncate is not one of them. There is no such Matlab function, but this might be a nice addition to the I/O builtins.

The ftruncate function is provided by gnulib so implementing this should be an easy wrapper. Might be a nice project for a beginner?
