$ truncate /tmp/erere
truncate: you must specify either `--size' or `--reference'

What a shock. Not mentioned on man or info pages!

And
       truncate OPTION... FILE...
should be
       truncate <--size|--ref...> <number> [OPTION...] FILE...

Also mention size is in bytes. Don't just hope the reader will examine
every options' wording to ferret that out.
