+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm
+lets the VM system know about a change in size for a file.
+Content beyond the new EOF specified by the
+.Fa nsize
+argument will be purged from the cache.
+This function is useful for use within file system code to implement
+truncation in
+.Xr VOP_SETATTR 9 .
+.Sh IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
+In case the new EOF specified by the
+.Fa nsize
+argument is not aligned to page boundaries,
+partial-page area starting beyond the EOF will be zeroed.
+In partial-page area,
+for content occupying whole blocks within block
+boundaries,
+the dirty bits for the corresponding blocks will be cleared.
+.Sh LOCKING
+Writer lock of the VM object of
+.Fa vp
+will be held within the function.
