[erlang-questions] Opening files in O_TRUNC mode

[bengt]

Greetings,

file:open/2 documentation has this to say about Modes. Does it cover what you want to do?

write
The file is opened for writing. It is created if it does not exist. If the file exists and write is not combined with read, the file is truncated.
